VisitBritain and VisitEngland have appointed Chris Foy as head of business visits & events.
Foy joined VisitBritain in 2003 and has held a variety of senior roles within the organisation including most recently head of nations and regions.
Prior to this he was on secondment to the Foreign & Commonwealth Office reporting to the central GREAT Britain campaign team at 10 Downing Street – a role that has given him profile, strong contacts at high level in parts of FCO, UKTI and DCMS, and knowledge of key government partners at director and ministerial level, said the organisation.
He takes up his new role on April 1.
