The Meetings Show grows sales staff ahead of July show

Due to a significant increase in demand, The Meetings Show in Olympia, London, from July 7-9 expanded its sales team. The move comes as it looks to benefits from growing sales amongst new and returning exhibitors ahead of the 2015 show.

Abigail Fletcher took up her role at the beginning of January to bring new exhibitors, particularly from the technology sector, to the show.  Her role capitalizes on the fact that many exhibitors are committing due to The Meetings Show’s focus on the delivery of UK buyers as well as the success of the 2014 show, which saw a 67 person increase in hosted buyers.

We have already seen significant growth across both the domestic and international sides of the show, and we expect this to continue with the addition of Abigail to the team.  She brings the perfect balance of industry experience and energy, and we look forward to the impact she will have over the coming months as we bring together the UK’s most comprehensive list of meetings industry focused exhibitors,” commented Gordon Kirk, commercial director, The Meetings Show.

Before joining The Meetings Show, Fletcher was a key account coordinator at Reed Exhibitions where she worked across 23 separate travel shows as part of a team managing 13 major clients, including leading hotel chains and destinations.

“It’s an exciting time to be joining The Meetings Show. The show offers a fast growing and dynamic place to work amongst a team of meetings industry experts.  I am looking forward to using the knowledge I have gained working on similar shows to develop The Meetings Show’s exhibitor offering and ensure it remains the UK’s premier show for the meetings industry,” stated Fletcher.

The Meetings Show is the must attend event for the UK inbound and outbound meetings industry, organized by Centaur Exhibitions.
