ASM Global’s Olympia Events has appointed Adam Pollington as its new Sales Director — Conferences and Events, a new role within the senior leadership team.
The venue says the new role is reflective of its continuing to enhance its expertise across the business in the build-up to becoming a ‘world-class destination for culture, creativity and entertainment’.
Pollington joins the venue’s leadership team with over 20 years of industry experience in venue sales, hospitality and live entertainment development, implementing successful strategies to maximise sales, attract new business, and lead award-winning sales departments.
He joins following a 12-year tenure as Commercial Manager at the Tottenham Hotspur Football Club, where he was instrumental in cultivating profitable relationships for the club and commercialising event experiences within the stadium.
Chief Executive Officer at Olympia Events, Andy O’Sullivan, said this appointment will set a new benchmark in the venue’s business strategy and development, attracting a strong and diverse line-up of events that complement the wider destination being built around it:
“We’re extremely pleased to welcome Adam to the team, bringing his extensive industry knowledge, experience, and exceptional leadership skills. As we prepare to become a leading global destination, it’s vital that our venue sets the stage for remarkable visitor experiences and cutting-edge ideas, attracting business that aligns with this mission.”
Pollington added: “I’m delighted to join Olympia Events at such a pivotal time in history as we redefine this iconic London events business into a world-leading visitor destination. The objective is clear, and we have a truly unique opportunity to enhance the event guest experience as we move forward.”
