Michael Mogan, MBE, commented: “As someone who is a proud Coventrian and father of eight-year-old twins, I have always been a big fan of what Trish and the BID team have done in the city. When the opportunity to work with them came up, it was too good to pass up!
“I am incredibly excited to get stuck into my new role and help build awareness and support for Coventry and its businesses as the year progresses.”
Trish Willetts, Coventry BID Director, added: “We are absolutely thrilled to have Michael on board! The opportunity to keep his knowledge and experience within the city and continue to grow our programme of events is invaluable.
“All eyes are on our wonderful city in the lead-up to 2021 and we’re excited to bring the wow factor to our great city this year, whilst also working closely with our friends at the Council and City of Culture teams to support their initiatives.”
