Charlie Cracknell has been appointed as new portfolio director for Spring Fair 2020 and will be taking up the post in April.
With over 20 years of international event experience, Charlie’s role will involve assisting in shaping the strategic direction of the show as it looks forward towards 2020.
“Charlie has a wealth of experience in shaping wider business strategies, leading global projects and helping to implement best practice,” commented Spring & Autumn Fair’s new managing director Julie Driscoll.
With over 20 years of international event experience, Charlie has held a number of senior sales and event leadership roles. Working across multiple sectors, he has built successful customer-focused events and communities.
“It’s fantastic to be involved, and I’m already planning a concierge matchmaking programme for the show, aimed at finding and matching buyers with ideal exhibitors,” said Charlie. “I’m thoroughly looking forward to making my mark in a re-edit year that will see some real innovation and bold changes for the brand.”
Spring Fair, which hosts the only party trade show within the UK, recently announced that it will undergo its first major re-edit in eight years for the 2020 show. The move follows last summer’s acquisition of Spring & Autumn Fair by the ITE Group.
