Taylor, who has been at the helm of the Westminster venue since 2013, is stepping down as CEO to

modernised the venue with annual revenues having increased from £9.6m in
2013/14 to £17.6m in 2023/24.
Reflecting on his
time at the QEII Centre, Taylor said: “Serving as CEO
has been a fantastic and rewarding journey. I am immensely proud to have worked
alongside such a talented team of professional staff and partners, and the
wider events community in London and beyond. I wish them, and the centre,
continued success in the years ahead.”
The Ministry of
Housing, Communities and Local Government also thanked Taylor for his
tenure.
Arrangements for
the appointment of a new chief executive will be announced shortly.
