SEC strengthens leadership team with two hires – Daily Business

Dawn Lauder and Andrew Healy

The Scottish Event Campus (SEC) has announced two senior appointments to its leadership team.

Dawn Lauder, previously head of association sales, has been appointed director of conference sales, succeeding Kathleen Warden, who is stepping down after 25 years.

Ms Lauder joined the organisation in 2009 and was previously head of international sales and head of association sales.

She played a key role in securing landmark conferences such as COP26, cementing Glasgow’s global reputation as a hub for high-profile international events.

Andrew Healy has been appointed chief financial officer, joining from his role as financial director at DM Hall following an extensive recruitment process.

He brings over three decades of financial leadership, having developed and delivered multi-year financial and business strategies across property, legal, sport, and the arts. 

As finance director at Scottish Rugby, he transformed the organisation’s financial infrastructure and supported major capital investment programmes.

He has also held senior roles at the Law Society of Scotland and served as a non-executive director and trustee of the Royal Lyceum Theatre Edinburgh.

The appointments come after a record year for the SEC, with 52 conferences, 55 exhibitions, and 269 live performances, welcoming more than 2.3 million visitors across its three venues: the SEC Centre, SEC Armadillo, and OVO Hydro.
