As Group Show Director, Steve will oversee the sales and marketing teams, working closely with them to gain a thorough understanding of the background of the Active Portfolio events and use his expertise to grow and improve them. He will report into Damian Norman, Managing Director, VOS Media.
Steve has a wealth of experience in managing high-volume consumer exhibitions and has worked within the industry for the past 12 years. The majority of this time was spent growing the portfolios of both BBC Good Food Show and BBC Gardeners’ World Live, as part of Single Market Events Ltd, BBC Haymarket Exhibitions Ltd and River Street Events Ltd.
Steve was also integral in the expansion of the BBC Good Food Show brand from its original flagship event at the NEC to five Shows across the country, attracting over 265,000 consumers and 1,500 exhibitors and partners.
Damian Norman, Managing Director, VOS Media said: “I’m delighted to welcome Steve to the company and believe that he will be a fantastic asset to our fast-growing events division. Someone of his experience and calibre will help our Active Portfolio to go from strength to strength.”
Steve Clark, Group Show Director, Active Portfolio, VOS Media said: “I couldn’t be joining VOS Media at a more exciting time. The team and I are in a forward-thinking environment with the support of a powerful newsbrand which means there is great potential for the current Shows to expand, whilst also exploring new Show opportunities. For me, this environment was a real draw to the role and the fact that I am also a budding triathlete, a keen runner and a regular cyclist can only help! I will be working hard with the team over the next few weeks to put some solid plans in place for the 2015 events and look forward to sharing them.”
The London Bike Show, The Telegraph Outdoor Adventure & Travel Show and the Triathlon Plus Show will take place 12-15 February 2015 at ExCeL London.
