Maugie Lyons has been appointed to the Horticultural Halls Limited board. Lyons, The Royal Horticultural Halls & Conference Centre’s head of sales and marketing, joined the venue 11 years ago with the brief of raising the venue’s profile and develop and expand its business in new markets. “The Halls have gone from strength to strength in recent years and the venue is now seen as one of the principal locations in Central London for exhibitions, conferences, corporate events, parties and film locations,” says managing director, René Dee. “Maugie’s input into the success of our venue has been significant and we are delighted to welcome her to the Board.”
