Boxpark has appointed its first chief growth officer (CGO) as it looks to accelerate growth and expand its UK estate.

Michelle Farrell will oversee the sales, events and marketing and commercial functions of the food hall and leisure business and will help to further drive growth at Boxpark’s latest opening BOXHALL City alongside all of the business’ sites across the UK.

Farrell has more than 15 years of experience in the hospitality sector, specialising in marketing and sales. Her most recent appointments include group sales and marketing director at Nightcap Group and has held several senior positions at leading hospitality businesses such as Stonegate Group and Novus Leisure.

“We are delighted to be introducing Michelle to the team and looking forward to leveraging her experience and expertise as we grow as a business,” says Boxpark CEO Matt Snell.

“This is an exciting time for the business, marking our first appointment of a Chief Growth Officer, and we are confident that she will play a key role in shaping the future of Boxpark.”

Farrell’s appointment comes shortly after the appointment of new Snell as CEO in March, and new CFO, Chris Burford in January.
