The management firm running Aberdeen Exhibition and Conference Centre (AECC) has appointed a new boss for the UK-based venue in advance of its move to a new site in 2019.
Nick Waight, who recently led the team delivering a new £10m conference venue in Birmingham, will take up the reins as managing director of the AECC in April.
He will take over from Adrian Hunter, who became interim chief executive when SMG took over the current Bridge of Don facility earlier this year. Waight’s past roles include a spell as chief executive of Dublin’s Convention Centre.
