Highflyer arrives in Auckland

Graham Rouse, Event Manager of Dubai based Emirates Airline will, in the New Year, join Auckland Tourism, Events and Economic Development (ATEED) as Manager for Event Design and Development.

Graham has spent the last three years away from New Zealand having travelled extensively in his role as Events Manager for the Emirates Airline Group. He says, “I can’t wait to get back home with my family, timing could not be better. The creation of the Super City, the approval of a major events strategy, improved infrastructure and an appetite for major events fuelled by the RWC. This is a very exciting time for Auckland.”

ATEED Manager Major Events, Jennah Wootten says, “Activation and leverage of global partnerships for Emirates and strong connections with Auckland’s business and community sector strongly influenced his appointment to lead the Manager Event Design and Development Team. We are absolutely thrilled to have someone with Graeme’s expertise in this new role.”

Graham Rouse will join Virginia Terpstra and Georgina Gilmour in the Major Events Management Team, charged with implementing Auckland’s Major Event Strategy.

Graham Rouse will take up his appointment in January 2012.
