The great thing about my job is…
Being able to provide and encourage business opportunities. There’s nothing more satisfying than seeing businesses supporting one another, there’s so much growth to be had and being able to support that is greatly fulfilling.
The challenge for industry is…
The challenging economic environment has impacted the industry, businesses have had to make cut backs and unfortunately this has been seen within the MICE sector. However, to stay at the forefront of the industry means you have to be seen, we have to speculate to accumulate. Businesses know this and we are beginning to see positive growth.
