Immediate acquired the businesses in 2019, adding a live events portfolio, across the key sectors of art and design, craft, cycling, food, gardening, gift and travel, to complement its market-leading print and digital brands.

Paul Byrom, Managing Director, Immediate Live sais: “The events industry has faced huge challenges over the last 12 months, along with valuable learning opportunities about how we better serve our customers. We’ve used this time to develop a compelling offering for our exhibitors, sponsors and, most importantly, our visitors. The rebrand is the culmination of this work, bringing together our heritage and experience within events with a world-class digital platform to support year-round audience engagement across all of our brands. We’re looking forward to doing what we love, meeting people at live events and connecting people with their passions online.”
