RenewableUK has appointed Liz Conboy as its new commercial director to lead the trade association’s business development work.
She will join our team on 2 April, taking over from Vicky Mant.
Liz is currently head of venue sales at Manchester Central and has been a key contact for the trade association’s events team for several years, working with them on its Global Offshore Wind conferences and exhibitions.
She has spent the last 10 years at Manchester Central leading the commercial team during a period of rapid growth and development. Prior to this, she worked for a global events company in the energy sector.
RenewableUK chief executive Dan McGrail said: “Liz is a truly accomplished commercial leader with a terrific track record, working tirelessly to make Manchester Central a world-class venue.
She also has an astute understanding of RenewableUK, having worked closely with us for a decade. I’m sure she will bring great energy and leadership to RenewableUK and help us to expand our commercial activities even further when she hits the ground running in April”.
Conboy added: “I am delighted to be joining RenewableUK to lead the fantastic commercial team, which is already doing such impressive and important work.
I’m equally enthusiastic to return to the energy sector at a pivotal time for the renewable energy industry. I relish the opportunity to champion the activities of RenewableUK’s varied membership base and connect with new partners. I can’t wait to get started!”
