Following a bumper 12 months at the Barbican, the business events team is expanding as they take on Anthony Kworki as account executive.

Previously Anthony held event focused roles within the City of London Corporation as well as having experience of the corporate recruitment market.

The Barbican’s head of sales, Oliver Hargreaves comments: “We are pleased to welcome Anthony to the team and expect that he will have a positive impact on our growth going forward. His knowledge and experience will help to bolster our performance as we look to beat our targets once again. With a range of substantial spaces and a plethora of breakouts as well as fantastic transport links, the Barbican is the perfect venue for all types of clients. We look forward to welcoming many more in the future as Anthony’s impact takes effect.”

The Barbican is one of the world’s leading conference and international arts venues. Located in the City of London, it is capable of holding meetings from 10-2,000 delegates in its fully equipped concert hall, theatres, conference suites and boardrooms. Barbican Business Events brings together the venue’s expertise in the arts and corporate meetings.

Built as part of London’s Barbican development and officially opened in March 1982 by HM Queen Elizabeth, unlike many other venues, Barbican was specifically built with the dual purpose of holding conferences and arts events presenting a diverse range of art, music, theatre, dance, film and creative learning.
