White ... set to explore fresh markets.

White named dmg construction unit VP

DUBAI, April 29, 2015

International exhibitions company dmg events said its group event director for construction, Andy White, has been promoted to the post of vice president (construction division) for the Middle East and Asia region.

White had joined dmg events in 2010 as the event director of The Big 5 in Dubai, the Middle East’s largest event for the construction industry and has been instrumental in its significant business growth, stated the company.

White played a key role in the evolution of The Big 5 and the geo-cloning of the brand in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, India and Indonesia, it added.

A seasoned senior manager with more than 20 years of experience in organising business-to-business (B2B) exhibitions, he has also successfully managed the launch of several focused events in the concrete, heavy machinery, stone, waste and recycling, commercial cleaning and facilities management sectors, the dmg event said in a statement.

White began his career with Blenheim Exhibitions in 1992 before moving into management roles with Miller Freeman, CMP, UBM, and Clarion Events where he organized events in the construction, interiors and financial markets.

Simon Mellor, the president, dmg events, Middle East and Asia, said: "White has been a valuable asset to dmg events, bringing with him over two decades of international experience to provide unique insights on the region’s growing events market. Through his tremendous leadership and sharp business acumen, he has been responsible for the successful expansion of The Big 5 across the GCC and Asia."

"Andy’s promotion is a big leap towards the company’s ambitious expansion plans and its long-term agenda across the Middle East and North Africa (Mena) and Asian territories," stated Mellor.

On his new role, White said: "I am excited to lead dmg events in a broader capacity in my new role where we will continue to explore fresh markets to deliver real value for our exhibitors and sponsors."

"In addition, we will use the strength and reputation of our leading brands to look for opportunities in new adjacent sectors to capitalise on the underlying opportunities ahead and ensure a bright future for the company," he added.-TradeArabia News Service
