See Tickets UK co-founder Rob Wilmshurst has taken on responsibility for all CTS Eventim's ticketing activities in the UK.
The appointment comes just months after CTS Eventim completed its €300m (£255m/$327m) acquisition of See Tickets, where Wilmshurst served as chief executive.
Wilmshurst’s new duties begin immediately after previous managing director of Eventim UK Martin Fitzgerald stepped down from his role. John Gibson will remain with the company, replacing Fitzgerald as managing director, and will be part of an expanded management team under Wilmshurst’s leadership.
“I congratulate Rob on his new role and look forward to working closely with him,” said CTS Eventim chief operating officer Alexander Ruoff.
“I would like to thank Martin for his contributions in building EVENTIM UK and wish him all the best in his personal and professional endeavours
“I also welcome John’s continued commitment to expanding our UK business.
“We are confident that the newly integrated management team will play a key role in further developing both the brands See Tickets and EVENTIM UK, and in offering our partners even better, more tailored solutions.
“I wish Rob and his expanded team continued success.”
Earlier this year, CTS Eventim acquired See Tickets along with its associated live entertainment business from former owner Vivendi in a milestone deal.
