He previously led the groups and corporate sales team based in Manchester.

Here he tells us a little about himself:

What do you hope to achieve in your new role?

I moved into a new role as a sales executive, aiming to attract a diverse range of events in the North of England for Ticketmaster, TicketWeb and Universe to work with.

What are some of your interests?

I am a huge sports fan – I have a passion for football and I love watching boxing and MMA. I also enjoy watching horse racing, golf, tennis, athletics and rugby. I have a massive love for music and very broad taste. True to my northern roots, my favourite gig ever was Noel Gallagher and Jonny Marr at Castlefield Bowl’s Summer in the City.

Why did you join Ticketmaster?

I wanted a change of career and a new challenge. I previously worked in the financial and retail industries, but I wanted to move into something more exciting and interesting – I wanted to stay in business-to-business sales, as I really like working with clients, but I wanted to sell a product/experience that I would enjoy.

I also wanted to work for a market leader, due the stability and rewards that it brings. After I came in to the office in Manchester and met with the guys, I got a really good vibe and felt Ticketmaster would allow me to develop to my fullest potential.
