Business Development for the Association of Event Organisers and the Event Industry Alliance

> General management and full P & L responsibility of the UK's largest IT and telecoms trade show with a revenue of £ 5.7 million. I also had P & L responsibility for the magazine Call Centre Focus which was in mid stream of acquisition at the time of my arrival. > With 8 direct reports and central services of another 8 for the events and 4 direct and 3 indirect reports this was the largest team and biggest financial product within the division at a time of unprecedented change within the IT and telecoms sector.> My recruitment to this position was to manage the exit of a product that had reached the end of its lifecycle, to establish if possible other products that could rise from the ashes and to minimise the impact on other products in the portfolio. > A crucial role for appropriate positioning in the market for CMP meant I took on the role of ambassador with key trade associations and press.
