New faces join the Telford team

The International Centre has strengthened its team with three key appointments.

The venue has gone from strength to strength since its latest £10 million redevelopment, and has taken on three new event managers to handle an increase in business.

Tom Gray, chief executive of the Southwater Event Group which owns the venue, said: "All three new managers have strong backgrounds in the events industry and they all bring great skills that will complement the strengths of our existing team.

"We're delighted to welcome such professional and committed managers and look forward to their input as we develop our business still further.

"This is an exciting time for our venue with a marked increase in business since our newest events suite was launched, and it's great to be looking forward to an extremely positive future."

Hannah Williams has joined The International Centre team after working as a development officer at Harper Adams University College.

She worked on post graduate and employer engagement courses working with students and tutors and organising residential and teaching sessions. Hannah has also worked for the Royal Agricultural Society as a sales and sponsorship manager.

The second new face is Hollie Jones who previously worked with the Olympic and Paralympic archers at Archery GB, based at Lilleshall National Sports Centre.

Hollie organised training camps, helped to run competitions around the world, and organised the selection shoots to choose the GB team for London 2012.

Laura Jones is the third appointment - she spent three years at ACC Liverpool as part of the sales team securing events, promoting the venue and managing events.

She also worked at The Post House in Stafford as sales and marketing manager, running a range of events from business meetings to weddings.
