The Meetings Show UK's Event Director, Steve Knight commented: "Both Julie and Adam will be significant assets to our fast growing team. Whilst these roles were always a part of our strategic plan, the need for another Sales Manager role has been accelerated to support the significant interest we are seeing in the show.
