read moreThe Adelaide Convention Centre has named Martin Radcliffe as its new General Manager, replacing the outgoing Simon Burgess, who is moving to the National Wine Centre of Australia.
Announcing the appointment, Anthony Kirchner, Chief Executive of Adelaide Venue Management, which operates the Adelaide Convention Centre, says that Radcliffe’s experience and networks across the global business events and hospitality industries make him uniquely qualified to lead the venue as it looks to recover from the Covid-19 pandemic.
Kirchner noted “with his impressive background in business events sales at the Adelaide Convention Bureau and senior hospitality experience at some of Adelaide’s leading hotels, he’s the perfect fit for this important leadership position, and will be a fantastic ambassador for South Australia and the Adelaide Convention Centre both nationally and internationally.
Radcliffe’s previous roles included Director of Sales and Marketing at the Adelaide Convention Bureau and General Manager at The Mayfair Hotel while, most recently, he has been running a consultancy business and is currently serving as Chairperson of Adelaide Hills Tourism.
Looking forward to his new position, Radcliffe noted “this iconic and progressive venue is very closely aligned to my own passions, skills, experience, and networks.
“I believe this is the perfect time to be commencing this role. Following the pandemic, business events and hospitality markets, both here in Australia and internationally, have certainly re-energised and re-calibrated, and I look forward to working with the Adelaide Convention Centre team to maximise opportunities and deliver exceptional event experiences for our clients.”
Radcliffe will take up his role in May.
