As well as extensive experience in the domestic hospitality sector, he brings with him more than 10 years experience at major international events such as the Olympic Games, in areas such as hospitality and travel, ticketing, accommodation management and sponsor fulfilment programmes.
Gillespie said: “As one of the founder members of the Corporate Event Association, the company has nearly 25 years of experience, and the company’s more recent involvement at major international events such as the 2003 Rugby World Cup, where as Rugby Hospitality they serviced over 54,000 hospitality packages, adds another dimension to the business.
“A successful 2004 saw profits increase 30 per cent on 2003, providing a sound financial platform for the company to move forward and broad its service offering, and I look forward to being part of that development.”
