EEF appoints Lauren Stephenson as group sales director

With a strong background in hotel and venue sales, Stephenson now reports to Anna Poole, EEF Venues’ national sales manager, to drive business across the group’s three venues.

The group’s 2018 advance orders are already 25% ahead of the corresponding point last year and EEF Venues is budgeting 4.5% growth for 2018, with the aspiration to break £7 million turnover across the group this year.

David Vaughton, managing director of EEF Venues, said: “This latest investment in our sales is part of our on-going commitment to building long and lasting relationships with our clients. The collaborative approach we take – from sales right through to operations – starts at the enquiry stage and goes right through to post event.”
