Following its recent management buyout from the NEP Group, mclcreate has announced the appointment of Neil Lawson as the company’s new managing director. Lawson takes over from Tim Spencer who led the mclcreate MBO. Spencer will now step up to serve as the company’s CEO.
“I’m excited to join mclcreate as it begins this new era as an independent live events company,” says Lawson. “The fundamentals of the business are strong, giving us a great opportunity to use our creative expertise, production capabilities and the talents of our people to grow and prosper. Using my extensive leadership and management experience in small and large organisations, I’m looking forward to bringing all of these components together so that we can drive mclcreate’s business performance to a higher level in the years ahead.”
Lawson will be responsible for implementing strategy and objectives in line with the company’s value proposition to deliver profitable growth and operation for mclcreate. He will lead and manage the company’s senior management team and work closely with the CEO to ensure consistency of approach and success at all levels and business locations. As CEO, Tim Spencer will focus on building the company’s strategy, developing its creative vision and building core alliances to fast track its growth.
“These are really exciting times at mclcreate, but we need to realise our ambitious plans,” adds Spencer. “Neil will help us with that. He has invaluable knowledge and experience on how to manage change through a business and, as such, will be a huge asset for the business, leaving me to fully concentrate on our future direction.”
