“The Brisbane Showgrounds is Queensland’s largest indoor/outdoor events site and I’m looking forward to building on its already successful record,” he said.

“With the Showgrounds and Royal ICC hosting almost 300 events a year, the role is a great opportunity to get involved in a variety of events from gala dinners to music festivals, as well as Queensland’s largest event the Royal Queensland Show (Ekka).”
