In our last episode, Martin Ingham (CEO of the Nottingham Arena and National Ice Centre), took us behind the scenes-he pointed out the best seats in the house, described how he was once booed off his own stage and shared some of the great success stories of the venue over its 25 year history.

This time, Martin describes the impact of Covid on the arena and on the entertainment/sports industry as a whole and gives an insight into how the sector is recovering in 2025.

Also, you'll hear from Donna Gately-she's General Manager and has worked at the arena since 2002. She describes how she came to work in Nottingham, what makes her proud and how important teamwork is in this industry.

Donna also recounts her funniest moments in her career so far.

We really hope you enjoy this episode!
