Job Title: Conference Director
Company: dmg world media (uk) ltd
Description: With the purchase of EAGC in March "04, Turret already had in its sights the sale of EAGC, together with Gastech to leading exhibition and publishing company, dmg world media (uk) ltd (Daily Mail General Trust). I was asked to move with key members of the energy team to Redhill to continue running the conferences. However, after a very short period, I realised that the average 3 hour each way commute from my home in Barnet was not the best use of my time and thus took steps to set up my own consultancy business and was delighted to retain dmg as my first client.
