“Reed & Mackay Events have and continue to invest heavily in global acquisitions, technology development and products – such is the importance of the global events growth strategy.”

Julie Oliver, CEO UK, Europe, and Global Events at Reed & Mackay added: “We’re delighted to be welcoming Pauline to the team at such an exciting time for Reed & Mackay.
