Mart’s appointment comes as AEG Presents UK continues to grow their mid-size venue portfolio with Watford Colosseum, which is set to reopen in the autumn following a multi-million-pound refurbishment, and the Olympia Music Venue in London, set to launch in 2026 as part of the wider £1.3bn regeneration of Olympia.
Mart has spent the past 13 years with ATG Entertainment, where she joined in the role of front of house manager at New Wimbledon Theatre and later as general manager.
Her next move was to The Alexandra, Birmingham in 2016 as theatre director, where she managed a £650,000 refurbishment project and relaunched the venue with a full rebrand.
Most recently she has been venue director at Swansea Building Society Arena. She managed the full venue launch and opening, both strategically and operationally, spending four years in the role.
