Eden Park’s Pauline Williams named Unsung Hero at international awards

Eden Park is proud to announce that our very own Pauline Williams has been named the Unsung Hero at TheTicketingBusiness Awards 2025, held at Emirates Old Trafford in Manchester.

The Unsung Hero category honours individuals who go above and beyond behind the scenes—those who consistently demonstrate dedication, excellence, and humility, often without seeking the spotlight. Pauline’s decades-long contribution to Eden Park exemplifies these values, and this global recognition reflects the incredible impact she has had on both the stadium and the wider live events industry.

Nick Sautner, CEO of Eden Park, shared his congratulations: “Pauline is a crucial member of our team. Her dedication, professionalism, and unwavering commitment make her truly deserving of this honour. She has shaped the experience of thousands of fans and eventgoers over the years, and I couldn’t be prouder to see her recognised on the world stage.”

TheTicketingBusiness Awards recognise leadership, innovation, and achievement across ticketing in sport, performing arts, live entertainment, and visitor attractions. Now in its tenth year, the awards celebrate excellence and drive in an industry that often operates behind the scenes.

“Congratulations to everyone who reached the podium,” commented Ian Nuttall, Co-Founder of TheTicketingBusiness. “Winners included our industry’s leaders and stand-out innovators, who should all be very proud of their achievements.”

We are thrilled to see Pauline’s outstanding work recognised globally. Her legacy at Eden Park is lasting, and we know her quiet leadership continues to inspire everyone around her.
