NCC Management and Development, the operator of QSNCC, has appointed Surapol Utintu as its new CEO. He succeeds Sakchai Pattarapreechakul, who has been appointed to the board committee.

Surapol will be tasked with speeding up the company’s mission to expand its network of domestic and international business partners while transforming the image of QSNCC into a world-class convention venue that caters to both B2B and B2C targets amid ever-changing global uncertainties.

Surapol has over 30 years of experience overseeing Thailand’s leading organisations with expertise in managing massive retail spaces, a theatre, and various other business segments. With his mastery of analysis and risk management and building long-lasting relationships with business partners, he aims to drive NCC forward to global fame as a unique venue.

“Our principal goal is to navigate QSNCC towards becoming more than just a convention venue under the concept ‘The Ultimate Inspiring World Class Event Platform for All,’” he said. “To accomplish our mission, we will push QSNCC to the forefront as the preferred venue and destination for all kinds of events from both B2B and B2C clients, allowing QSNCC to host more diverse kinds of events in future. We also hope to transform this convention centre as a landmark that serves modern lifestyles and where people regularly hang out for their daily activities.” 

He added: “NCC has undergone a reshuffle to merge affiliates for better management, and in doing so, our event and convention business is now complete and full-scale, from managing the convention centre to organising conferences and exhibitions and from booth designs to construction, F&B and catering.

“One of our core missions is to operate our business based on sustainability, which covers the development of products and services that satisfy customer needs, benefit society and all stakeholders, and take care of the environment. This also involves the usage of sustainability-promoting technologies. All of our values emphasise our business philosophy that prioritises quality of life and the environment.”
