New director of sales at Hampden Park stadium

14th August 2009, 10:20am

Prestige Scotland, part of Sodexo, has announced the appointment of Paul Hollywood as its sales director at Hampden Park, Scotland's national stadium.

Hollywood, from Cambuslang, will be responsible for developing the sales and business functions at the stadium.

Hollywood has extensive experience in sales and management, having spent the last ten years working for companies such as Safeway, Debenhams, World Duty Free (a division of BAA) and more recently at Hilton hotels.

Whilst at Hilton Hotels, where he spent four years, Hollywood held the position of conference and event sales manager in Edinburgh Airport and latterly in Glasgow. At the Hilton Edinburgh, his role was to oversee the sales function for one of the largest conference facilities attached to a hotel in Scotland.

Hollywood has a degree in business and retail management from Glasgow Caledonian University.

He said: "I am delighted to have joined the team at Prestige Scotland. One of the best aspects of my role will be the variety. Whilst it is a cliché, no day is ever the same. One day I could be meeting with clients to discuss a conference or event, and the next day I am discussing plans to welcome 60,000 fans to the stadium for the U2 or the Coldplay concert. It is truly a job like no other."
