Freemans Event Partners (FEP) has appointed Simon Hanna as its new chief operating officer. The move is aimed at facilitating the operational delivery of a five-year strategic plan – overseeing the implementation of a sustainability roadmap, further enhancing the customer experience through innovative hospitality, food and beverage, and payment solutions – at events and venues both in the UK and overseas.

Hanna joins FEP following previous roles in multi-site, regional and national level operations, including his most recent position as regional operations director of food and beverage with The Jockey Club Cheltenham and South West. He earlier forged his career within the independent, branded, country house and corporate hotels sector.  

Stephen Freeman, chief executive officer of FEP, said: “This is an incredibly exciting time for our business and we are thrilled to welcome Simon. We are looking forward to benefiting from his experience and expertise, as we look to take the business forward both in the UK and internationally.”
