It was announced this morning that James Ainscough will succeed Craig Hassall as CEO of the London venue.

He has been head of the charity Help Musicians for the past five years. Before that, he was with the Royal Albert Hall from 2008 to 2017 as Director of Finance and Administration and then as Chief Operating Officer

Hassall left last month and Ainscough won’t start until April: not the best of handovers. Dan Freeman, the COO, will hold the fort in the meantime.
