Melissa Cox
Senior Sales Coordinator
What do you do at Cardiff City Stadium?
I am the Senior Sales Co-ordinator. My role is to sell the venue for corporate events, banquets, exhibitions, weddings and Christmas parties. I produce marketing publications and organise promotional activities to generate new leads. I also support the Sales Manager with reporting and managing the team on site.
How long have you been at Cardiff City Stadium?
I started as maternity cover for Kate in 2015 and progressed to Senior Sales Coordinator in 2017.
What’s your favourite thing about working here?
I love the buzz around the place at Christmas time. And, when we’re developing new menus, I love the food tastings which are always delicious.
Outside of work, what do you like doing?
The children keep me on my toes with all their sporting activities- football, rugby and swimming. When I have an evening off I enjoy a wine & cheese night with friends.
Interesting fact
I’m petrified of spiders. Once, there was one on my desk so I called security to help me!

What’s your favourite thing about working here?
I love working with a wide range of people and focusing on a wide range of events. One day I could be looking after a dinner for 50 and the next day I could be running a conference for 300! No two days are the same which keeps us on our toes!
Outside of work, what do you like doing?
I have young son Oscar who occupies a lot of my time! As a family we have horses, so a lot of our time is also spent with them!
Interesting fact
I was a Ms Cardiff Finalist but didn’t go through with it as I was too nervous!
