056 – CEO Motorpoint Arena Nottingham – Interview Martin Ingham
My latest podcast interview was with Martin Ingham, the Chief Executive of Motorpoint Arena and National Ice Centre. In a fascinating discussion, Martin and I discussed: The 20+ year journey for Martin and the Arena * Some of the key highlights – Ed Sheran’s first arena gig, Beyonce, World Ice Hockey Championships * What the Arena has meant to the community in a broader sense * Amazing stories of innovation in catering, merchandising and security * What being ‘Risk Aware’ rather than ‘Risk Averse’ has meant * The ambitions for the future of the Arena, including the 25th anniversary celebrations in 2025 * Martin’s wish for the future – one of the most non ego fuelled I have ever heard!
