EENZ CEO, Jane Ford, is particularly familiar with Home Shows. With her business partner - HIA Home Ideas Show founder - Graeme Uthmeyer, they acquired the three leading Australian Home Shows from dmg in 2008 through their Australian business Exhibitions and Events Australia. Despite a dampened economy in 2009, the Australian Home Shows have increased in visitor attendance under Exhibitions and Events Australia’s management.
“The Auckland and Canterbury Home Shows are New Zealand’s most highly regarded home shows with a long history of achieving success.
Thanks to the passionate staff, they are currently in a very strong position. We are delighted the team will continue to be lead by Amanda Magnus, Exhibition Director and we are confident of a smooth and positive transition”, said Ms Ford.
Jane Ford and Graeme Uthmeyer will manage the strategic growth of the New Zealand Home Shows in conjunction with the New Zealand team. “Our key focus will be to achieve a high return on investment for exhibitors, sponsors and show partners,” concluded Jane.
Exhibitions and Events New Zealand Ltd recently acquired the Auckland Home Show, Canterbury Home Show and Big Boys Toys from dmg world media.
