Meet our new Head of Sales

Here at Unity Place, we’re pleased to announce that we have appointed Megan Hassall as our new Head of Sales.

The appointment marks an exciting step in our continued commitment to delivering world-class events and building a thriving, connected community within the heart of Milton Keynes.

In her new role, Megan will be responsible for leading the sales strategy across all conferencing and events spaces within Unity Place, focusing on driving year-on-year revenue growth, developing a strong repeat client base, and building our reputation as a centre of excellence for customer service and event delivery.

Commenting on her appointment, Megan said: “My main aim is to build a venue that’s known not only for its cutting-edge facilities, but also for delivering exceptional service and unforgettable experiences.

“We’re creating a space where clients return time and again, not just because we deliver great events, but because they feel part of something bigger: a true Unity Place community.”

Megan’s journey into the events industry began with a volunteer experience at a Ride of Roses charity event, which inspired her to pursue a degree in Event Management at the University of Chester. From there, her career quickly evolved. She first cut her teeth in the events world as a wedding coordinator, quickly discovering her talents lay elsewhere - specifically, in sales.

After relocating over 200 miles from her native Wirral to kickstart her career in events sales, Megan progressed rapidly. She began as a Sales Executive at Missenden Abbey, earning a promotion to Sales Manager within just eight months. Most recently, she held the position of Sales Manager at Horwood House, where she honed her proactive sales techniques and helped transform the venue's sales performance.

“Stepping into the role of Head of Sales at Unity Place is a proud moment for me,” continued Megan. “This industry is all about people—bringing them together, sparking ideas, and building real communities through unforgettable experiences. That’s what I’m really passionate about.

“I’ve always believed that events are one of the most powerful tools we have to connect, inspire, and create lasting impact. Whether it's helping a brand tell its story or giving a community a platform to thrive, I see every event as a chance to do something meaningful.

“I’m excited to work with a talented team that shares this vision, and to help drive growth not just in numbers, but in the value we create for our clients, our audiences, and the industry as a whole.”

Dave Morgan, Venue Director at Unity Place, welcomes Megan’s appointment:

“Megan brings not only a wealth of experience in venue sales, but a clear passion for what events can achieve - socially, economically, and culturally. Her energy and vision for Unity Place are perfectly aligned with our mission to be a beacon of innovation and connection in Milton Keynes. We’re excited to see where her leadership will take us.”
