Work history
Event Organiser
Under the umbrella company "Textile Events" I manage three biannual Textile trade shows; The London Textile Fair, The London Print Design Fair and Texfusion - The London World Textile Fair.
The London Textile Fair was first established in 2007 by John Kelley at a small club in Marylebone. At this first fair there were 25 exhibitors, with just tables, chairs and rails. The style and concept has been so successful that it has been continued until today with 400 exhibitors at the January 2016 edition.
Following the success of TLTF and as the demand grew for a design/trend led show (in direct response to the catwalks) we established The London Print Design Fair. London is home to some of the best print studios so it was almost inevitable that it would grow to be the great success it is today. Each edition has welcomed over 2,500 visitors from the UK with a growing international presence.
Texfusion - The London World Textile Fair had its second edition in November 2015. It's sole purpose being to provide the UK market with the very best of international textiles.
