Galway 2020 Culture team to draw experience from Derry

A company forged in the legacy of the 2013 UK City Culture has been tasked with assembling the team to deliver the Galway 2020 European Capital of Culture programme.

Derry-based recruitment specialists at Connected Talent who work on the UK City of Culture experience will source the entire staff complement for the new Galway 2020 company.

Connected Talent’s role as official ‘Talent Partner’ of Galway 2020 will involve selecting a 30 to 40-strong team of personnel to provide the executive and delivery function of the company. A trawl of talent has already begun to fill the roles of CEO and Creative Director.
