Core Team

Anna Anson

Anna has been in the industry for over 30 years and there isn’t anyone she doesn’t know, she is a great problem solver with an eye for detail and a thirst for champagne! She has a passion for cricket and I’m sorry to say but she supports the spurs.

If you want to know to know the sports score’s she’s the one to ask!

Steve Bullock

Steve has also been in the industry for over 20 years and there isn’t anyone he thinks he doesn’t know! He has a creative mind and will help you create some stunning features whilst also keeping an eye on your budget! He will also help manage your sponsors to ensure that they get full value for money in terms of branding and experience.

Sarah Gilley

Sarah started in graphics and exhibition build at the NEC, before organising events in the energy industry after moving her family up to the Northeast back in 2008. We’ve enticed her back in the halls – her true home. You’ll see her stomping about in our green hi-vis with a big smile on her face – gossiping with contractors, helping exhibitors, managing features and finding any excuse to get to the nearest tannoy.

James Haddrell

A true friend to everyone, James loves approving your stand plans. James is your go-to man on-site, a great helping hand who is guaranteed to make you laugh and smile in the best and worst of times! If you’re lucky you might just get a personalized ring tone on his phone.

Claire Stockwell

Claire has been in the industry for over 20 years in various roles, from security to site management and health and safety. She is happy to get her hands dirty to get the job done.

She is generally happy unless her beloved South Africa is losing at cricket, and you may be lucky to get a cake or two on site.

Penny Eastbury

Penny is a keen bean who loves learning new things and meeting new people. She is happy to talk your ear off about anything pop culture. On site you may hear her loud giggle from afar.

Emma Matthews

Em has a passion for travelling, meeting you all on-site, and she also loves approving your stand plans (as long as she’s had her morning coffee).

Maia Roman

You’ll find Maia quietly beavering away at her desk and helping exhibitors fill out their forms – but don’t be fooled – she comes alive on site and just loves being in the thick of the action!

Jake Russell

Jake a man of and for the people, forever jolly and down to chat. Just don’t get him started on media or pop culture (he won’t shut up)

Maisie White

Maisie is a friendly face who is always happy to help in whatever way she can. As long as she’s had a good nights sleep she’s very personable and loves meeting new people. If she’s not at work or in the pub you’ll find her walking in countryside.

Maz Wones

Maz is bubbly, fun and always on hand to help with a smile. A professional yapper who can either be found in a pub garden in the sun – weather permitting, or at home keeping up with any sort of reality TV show.
