“My time as marketing director at Centaur Exhibitions have taught me a huge amount,” he said. “With exhibitions in many industries, we have managed to take learnings from one and apply them successfully to other products within the business, while continually testing new ideas and concepts.
 
“The pulling together of shows under Marketing Week Live has been a great testament to this and I look forward to seeing this show continue to thrive along with the many other great shows that Centaur Exhibitions produce.
 
“I now look forward to taking on new challenges within marketing world and continuing to ensure customers get the right messages and benefits from a product.”
