Bridget Ryan joined the Smales Farm Management team in July 2011. As front of house, Bridget is kept busy meeting and greeting tenants, visitors and contractors and dealing with requests. She is also responsible for distributing keys and parking passes to tenants and people who work at Smales Farm, and for general office administration.

Prior experience in busy and fast-paced administration and hospitality roles requiring a high degree of organisational skill has stood Bridget in good stead for her role at Smales Farm. Bridget previously held an administration role in the logistics department of the national support office for Bridgestone New Zealand. The role required Bridget to provide an efficient and effective support network to the business in terms of all logistics and administrative related enquiries and concerns.

Bridget worked in hospitality for a number of years and holds a Diploma in Hospitality Management from Auckland University of Technology (AUT). She managed Nutmeg Café for several years – and credits her passion for looking after people to the time she spent in hospitality.
