The Belmont Cinema appoints new Funding and Development Manager

The Belmont Cinema is delighted to welcome Gemma Cruickshank as our new Funding and Development Manager

Originally from Keith in Moray, Gemma brings over 16 years of experience in the tourism and hospitality sectors. She studied International Tourism Management at Robert Gordon University and began her career in Aberdeen, working with organisations such as VisitScotland, VisitAberdeenshire, and Jury’s Inn Hotels.

Gemma went on to lead both Business Improvement Districts in Moray - Elgin BID and Visit Moray Speyside, the region’s destination marketing organisation. In these roles, she delivered high-impact global marketing campaigns and secured grant funding to support a wide range of local projects.

Now returning to Aberdeen, Gemma is thrilled to be part of a project that holds personal meaning. Having fond memories of visits to the Belmont Cinema, she is passionate about helping to revive this unique community space where people can come together to enjoy great film and culture.

She joins us at an exciting time - one year into our fundraising campaign, which has already secured over £1 million in capital and operational funding.
