Neil held a variety of senior exhibition roles prior to joining FESPA in 2011, culminating as executive director at William Reed where he presided over a three-fold growth in event revenues from his division.
Since joining FESPA as Managing Director, the organisation has gone from strength to strength, experiencing remarkable growth. Neil has been instrumental in the launch of four new regional FESPA shows across the globe. In 2013 alone, more than 60000 printers visited a FESPA exhibition somewhere in the world. Neil was promoted to the position of CEO in 2013.
Neil gained sales experience in a series of media roles following his graduation from Thames Valley University, where he gained a degree in Modern European Studies. Neil also speaks fluent German.
Neil comments: “As the only organisation on the AEO Board that represents trade associations worldwide, FESPA anticipates that my involvement with the Board will enable our organisation to work with a variety of different people and exhibition organisers in countries where FESPA has no presence currently.”
Duncan’s knowledge of, and passion for, the community that FESPA serves made it an easy decision to return in 2022 to lead the Marketing and Events team after almost three years delivering world-class events for the HR community.
With more than 20 years’ experience in B2B communications and events, Duncan’s experience as a senior journalist and latterly event director of all event formats in several sectors – from public safety, FMCG and food and drink - prepared him well to play a key role in FESPA’s growth with a focus on meaningful content and connections for the global print community delivered through our awards programme,conferences, and feature events at our global exhibitions from 2010-2019.
Duncan enjoys golfing, paddleboarding and other outdoor pursuits with friends and his two teenage daughters.
