Diversified, global B2B events and media company, has announced its UK & Europe division has acquired Workspace Design Show, a portfolio of events serving the workspace design sector, from Redbridge Events Ltd (Redbridge).
Held annually at the Business Design Centre (BDC) in London, and biennially at the RAI Amsterdam in the Netherlands, the events have grown. The latest edition, held at the BDC on 25-26 February, welcomed 5,000 visitors and 140 speakers.
Diversified UK & Europe’s MD Carsten Holm said: “We’re delighted to be welcoming Workspace Design Show, together with its co-founders Esha and Charlie Bark-Jones, and sales manager Roshan Rebello, to Diversified. We have been watching the growing success of the business ever since Esha and Charlie launched the events, and feel that their personal approach, customer focus, long-term vision and attention to detail is very similar to our own way of doing things.”
Esha and Charlie Bark-Jones, said: “Being part of Diversified will give us scale and support, which we need to continue to grow the business, and to fulfil the real potential for the event, its exhibitors and of course, visitors.
Oakley Dyer, corporate VP of Corporate Development for Diversified, added: “Diversified offers a unique home for B2B event and media businesses given the family-owned nature of our business. We continue to seek acquisitions where we can add value and help support the growth of what entrepreneurs have built.”
