Commenting on his new role, Monks said: “I am delighted to be able to continue to drive the growth of The Ticket Factory. I was heavily involved in our re-launch from an in-house box office to a national ticketing agent in 2007, and am extremely proud of what we have achieved over the past five years.
“I am looking forward to building on this success and expanding the Business Development team to further enhance our national inventory of concerts, shows and events, by providing our clients and customers with a real alternative to existing ticket agents.”
