He said: “I am always striving for excellence and with this in mind, will be guiding the finance team to deliver more by working smarter, not harder, ensuring a wonderful work-life balance and a satisfying, enjoyable and learned time.”
Kent’s finance team will also be supported by Daniel Latek who has joined as finance assistant.
Sarah Ainsworth, chief executive of Central Hall Venues, said: “This is an exciting time for Iain to join our team. The role will support us in analysing and understanding our business to better drive effective revenue generating strategies as we aim to achieve record revenue levels and maximise profits for our charitable beneficiaries.
“Our new recruits – Charlotte and Mattia – in the events team will support this aim, by using their experience to support and deliver a broad range of events for valued clients within our stunning venue.”
