Press Release | February 2008

The Roundhouse is delighted to announce that three Event Managers were recognised for their excellence as sales professionals at the 2007 BESMA awards this month.

Becky Jesse won ‘New Sales Professional of the Year’ followed by Marietjie Grose as ‘Runner-up Sales Professional of the Year’ and Fiona Price who won the ‘Sales Professional of the Year’.

The Roundhouse was finalists in two other categories, Sales & Marketing Director and Sales & Marketing Team of the year.

Susan Stuart, Head of Events said, “We had a fantastic evening at the awards dinner and for all Event Managers to be recognised so highly is a real achievement. I am incredibly proud of them”.

The Roundhouse Events Team beat stiff competition from sales professionals from NatWest, AXA and npower amongst others.

Stuart continues, “The Event Managers work very closely with their clients and I believe this gives them the edge over other sales staff. They become an extension of the client’s team of experts. This appraoch has enabled us to host some of the industry’s biggest events including The Elle Style Awards, the London 2012 Olympic brand launch and the BIFA’s.”

“I feel sure that this recognition will encourage more sales professionals from the hospitality industry to enter into the awards in the future and that ultimately standards will increase”.

The Roundhouse, a historically renowned venue and a Grade II* listed building reopened in June 2006 following a complete restoration. The £30m redevelopment incorporated universally accessible facilities for visitors and new production facilities for event organisers, bringing the building back to life as a world class venue.
