Simon Bonell | Event Director

I have been on EDS since the launch 12 years ago and have have spent over 154 hours pounding the EDS aisles ever since!

A fun fact: I came 3rd in the world bog snorkelling competition, and I won the Petts Wood ½  Marathon (the one and only time it was ever staged).

On weekends I am probably running an ultra marathon if I'm not spreading the EDS gospel!

 

Caroline Liffen | Sales Manager

I’m a Sales Manager at EDS, with 1.5 years on the team. I enjoy helping clients grow their business portfolios through strategic pre-show and in-show activities. My consultative approach leverages our extensive data to drive results.

Fun Fact: At 8, I was featured in the local paper for saving a friend from drowning, earning free swimming lessons despite not knowing how to swim! I also appeared in March 1998 for giving birth to my daughter on Mother’s Day.

Weekends: I’m an avid thrifter, creatively updating furniture and clothing, and love spending time with family, friends, and my Mini Schnauzer.

Anshu Kukreja | Event Executive

I have over 10 years of experience in the exhibition and conference industry, and this is my second EDS show. I enjoy working with teams and stakeholders to ensure the exhibition's success.

Fun Fact: I once aspired to be a journalist and even interned at an Indian news channel during my Journalism and Mass Communications degree.

On weekends, you’ll find me either enjoying a thriller, cooking Indian cuisine, or giving my husband a hard time!

I have 8+ years of marketing experience & I’ve been working on EDS for 4 years. We have a great team, & everyone is hugely passionate about EDS!

A fun fact: I taught History and English at a school in India for 6 months.

My perfect weekend would be spent at the beach with all my favourite people! BBQ, a couple of cheeky G&Ts & a swim in the sea, lovely!

Harry Underwood | Senior Marketing Executive

I'm a marketing and advertising graduate and have worked on EDS for three years, loving every minute of it.

A fun fact: I rescued a stray kitten in Greece and brought him home - he's now quite the chunky man!

My weekends usually consist of football, football, and more football. If I’m not playing, I’m watching… and I squeeze in a bit of family time somewhere between kick-offs!

Gabriele Varzinskaite | Marketing Assistant

I’m currently studying for a degree in Marketing at Birkbeck, University of London, and have been with MA Exhibitions for just under a year. My role involves working on a variety of different shows, which keeps each day exciting and new - I absolutely love it!

A fun fact: I have a hamster named Gus—just like the charming character from Cinderella! make this shorter

On weekends, I enjoy exploring bookshops, reading, baking, and discovering new corners of London!
