New director for Southwater Event Group

A Midlands event group has appointed a new Business Development Director - but he's already a familiar face.

Dominic Fleming has joined the Southwater Event Group, which is made up of The International Centre, Telford, three hotels and an events production company.

And staff and customers already know him well as he has previously worked at The International Centre as Sales Manager.

"I am very pleased to be here at the Southwater Event Group, and I'm looking forward to selling the excellent facilities and services the group has to offer," said Dominic, who will also represent the Group at national level on the AEV board.

He has worked in the events industry for 13 years, including positions at the NEC in Birmingham and Ricoh Arena, and has organised events all over the UK, from London to Glasgow.

"My primary aim is to focus on the already highly successful businesses we have in the group, and develop them still further," he said.

"It's an exciting time to be part of this company as we're on the threshold of multi-million pound plans to create a dynamic convention quarter with The International Centre at its heart.

"And I'm sure the development plans will be of great interest to existing and potential new customers, so I'm keen to spread the news as far as possible."

Southwater Event Group Chief Executive, Tom Gray, said: "Dominic's experience in the industry will prove invaluable in helping us to promote our services to the widest audience, and his appointment is a real boost for our growing sales team."

As well as The International Centre, the Southwater Event Group includes The International Hotel, The Holiday Inn, and Grays Hotel, which are all in Telford, and StagecraftUK.
