The CEO’s post was advertised to a 23 October 2015 deadline and at a salary range of £100k-£110k. Taylor has held the post for a fixed three-year term since being appointed in April 2013.

Speaking of the chief executive’s reappointment to his job, Jacinda Humphry of the Department for Communities and Local Government, said: “I am delighted that Mark has been re-appointed as the chief executive of the QEII. Since his arrival in 2013 he has transformed the reputation, appearance and performance of the QEII. I look forward to Mark continuing his strong and successful leadership of the government’s flagship London venue.” The QEII Centre will celebrate its 30^th anniversary in 2016.
