Michael took on his current role in January, moving from The Olympic Stadium where he was head of commercial.  He has a track record of selling out ticketed events and developing long lasting commercial and community partnerships.

Prior to being at the Olympic Stadium, he has worked on a range of major events including The Ashes, the ICC World Twenty 20, Premier League Football, Premiership Rugby, the World Athletics Championships, International Rugby League and major concerts including Guns N Roses’ return to London last Summer.

He is no stranger to Nottingham either, having been Head of Marketing & Communications at Trent Bridge cricket ground from 2008 to 2014.

At the event Michael will talk about lessons learnt from a career in the stadium business and the principles that have enabled Trent Bridge to post a profit in 30 of the past 31 years, amidst a landscape of intense competition.

“It is great to return to Nottingham and re-join a cricket club and venue with such a proud history,” said Michael Temple.  “I’m really looking forward to speaking at the Nottingham City Business Club event.”
