Venter joined Gallagher in May 2009 as Financial Manager, after working in various African countries as Financial Manager in the mining industry. He holds a B.Com (Hons) degree in Financial Accounting, which he attained through the University of Pretoria.

Says Venter: “Gallagher is a prosperous venue with an excellent reputation. Although I realise that managing one of the finest venues in South Africa is a challenge, especially considering that there are many new venues from which to choose, we accept the challenge with enthusiasm. I set high expectations for my team and myself and always push for better results. The experience I have gained in an acting capacity has also given me a great deal of valuable insight into the business aspects of venue management.”

Gallagher has been the venue of choice for various large exhibitions and events in both the public and private sector and a recent highlight was when the organisers of Miss World 2009 chose Gallagher as the venue for the grand finale of the pageant. Venter says that bookings for 2010 looks very promising and enquiries for 2011 have already been recorded.

“We plan to build on the past success that has been put in place by former managements of Gallagher and to enhance our excellent reputation. We have a strong focus on our customers, and service excellence and training have always been a priority for Gallagher. I strongly believe it is the secret to our success,” says Venter.
