Nick Blackburn Steps Down As Chairman Of Eventim UK
– Nick Blackburn.
CTS Eventim announced that Nick Blackburn, who joined the company in June 2011, is stepping down from his post as chairman of Eventim UK Ltd, effective Sept. 30.
Prior to joining CTS Eventim, Blackburn was chairman and CEO of See Tickets in the UK. At Eventim UK, Nick was responsible for business development in the UK and Ireland.
Nick Blackburn commented: “I have enjoyed my time at EVENTIM which turned out to be longer than I originally expected. I informed Klaus-Peter Schulenberg of my intentions last March as by then I had introduced John Gibson and Martin Fitzgerald to the company, both now Managing Directors at Eventim UK, thus keeping my promise that I would not leave until there was a strong management structure in place which could take the company forward.
“I am now free to move on to consultancy work, to spend more time on an educational Charity of which I am a trustee and complete some items in my bucket list especially in travel.”
Klaus-Peter Schulenberg, CEO of CTS EVENTIM, said: “Over the past ten years, Nick has taken Eventim UK forward and strengthened its position in this important market. In addition, I would like to thank him for setting the course for the continued positive development of our company in the UK. I wish Nick all the best for his future.”
