COVENTRY, United Kingdom, July 7, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — GES has expanded their client service team for their Event Intelligence business and appointed Daryl Burgess and Ali Shah to Customer Support Managers for the UK and Middle East, respectively. Both individuals bring multifaceted experience to the company’s exhibition clients, and their contributions were critical in the successful delivery of the UK government pilot required to restart the live events industry.
“The last year has been an extremely challenging time for our industry. We are delighted to expand our team and helping our valued clients deliver more events, and even larger shows. The news of these recent appointments highlights GES’ commitment to excellent client service, and our belief that attendees are ready to return to live events. Ali and Daryl are talented and experienced professionals that are consistently putting their clients first. I know their regions will benefit greatly under their leadership,” said Gerard Conway, Director, Event Intelligence.
