ExCel London has named Kerrie Kemp the director of venue operations. She will focus on the day-to-day operational delivery throughout the venue, overseeing ExCeL’s event management, traffic, parking, cleaning, and waste teams.
Kemp has worked for both B2B and B2C market sectors across the UK, Europe, the Middle East and North Africa and for event organisers such as UBM, Imark, VNU Exhibitions, Ithaca Media, and Informa.
It was at Informa that Kemp held the position of global programme delivery manager for `Better Stands’, a project with an aim to reduce single use disposable stands at events.
Roger Hooker, COO of London ExCel said: “Kerrie’s experience and knowledge will prove invaluable in delivering these, as well as to utilise her organiser insight to ensure we continue to deliver the very best experience for our clients.”
ExCel, London’s largest event venue will complete its 25,000sqm expansion in October.
