Background

About Mark Houghton

Experienced Event Coordinator and Venue Manager with a demonstrated history of working in the performing arts industry along with hospitality and tourism. I am an experienced Venue, Festival and Events Manager brimming with innovative ideas and enthusiasm for the arts and events industries. I have developed a deep understanding of the many facets of the industry and an intimate understanding of operational and front-of-house business optimisation. Through years of experience in recruiting, training, mentoring and building teams I quickly establish rapport and respect while motivating first class service standards. Adaptable and calm under pressure, I thrive on the competing demands of financial, people and customer/client management while delivering first class service in a safe and compliant work place environment. Encouraging people to be the best they can, satisfying client demands, and providing first rate service are the keys to my motivation.
