CEO of Durban’s iconic ICC resigns
The Durban International Convention Centre CEO Julie-May Ellingson (pictured) has resigned and will take up a new post as CEO of the Cape Town International Convention Centre.
JULIE-MAY Ellingson who sat at the helm of the Durban ICC for three years has resigned. The announcment was made late yesterday by the Durban ICC Board. Ellingson served as the centre’s CEO.
Durban ICC Chairperson, Mato Madlala, commented that the board was sad to lose someone of Ellingson’s calibre.
“Julie-May has done an outstanding job during her tenure. Under her leadership, the Durban ICC has achieved not only record profits but also made the highest contribution to economic impact, created the highest number of jobs and substantially increased our BBBEE spend”, said Madlala.
Ellingson said she had enjoyed her time with the Durban ICC.
“Whilst it has been an honour and a privilege to lead this great organisation, it is now time to move on to a new challenge. I wish the company well and would like to express my gratitude to the Board, Executive Team and staff for their hard work and support over the past three and a half years. None of these achievements would have been possible without each and every one of you”.
ICC Durban has been voted Africa’s Leading Conference Centre for six consecutive years by World Travel Awards.
