The Mermaid London appoints
Jackie Harding as its new commercial director to revitalise the senior
leadership team at the central London meetings and events space.
Jackie will be
focused on reinforcing the venue’s long-standing commitment to corporate social
responsibility (CSR).
Utilising her
strengths in national and global brand building, new business development and
client relations, Jackie will also expand her repertoire to manage all aspects
of the multipurpose events venue, from supplier, agency, and buyer
relationships to management of the wider events team.
Commenting on
her new role, Jackie said: “I’m thrilled to join the team at The Mermaid London
and have the opportunity to further the success of such an iconic and unique
events venue, particularly as it continues to build upon its substantial
efforts to champion CSR and further its sustainability journey. This is a
different type of role for me but I’m beyond excited for the challenge, and
determined to hit the ground running and bring a new perspective to the venue
with fresh and innovative ideas.”
Alicia Duncan, managing
director at The Mermaid London, said: “We couldn’t be more excited to welcome
Jackie to our fantastic team here at The Mermaid London. Her experience and
dedication are invaluable assets and her enthusiasm is infectious. It will only
enhance the innovative, high-quality and flawless service we provide to our
clients, and I can’t wait to work alongside Jackie to take The Mermaid London
into a brighter, stronger and more sustainable future.”
