– ICHF’s David Bennett receives award on behalf of exhibition clients –
The International Craft and Hobby Fair (ICHF) is celebrating its 25th anniversary alongside the Scottish Exhibition + Conference Centre (SECC) this week, with the show’s Managing Director, David Bennett set to be crowned the second of the venue’s ‘Champions’.
Since the SECC first opened its doors in 1985, ICHF has held four annual exhibitions on the Clyde, attracting more than 600,000 visitors to Glasgow and making it one of the longest-standing residents at the SECC.
SECC Director of Sales, Ben Goedegebuure, commented: “The ICHF events are a true success story, both for the organisers, for Glasgow and for us as they demonstrate how an event can stay fresh and attract a new audience not just for years, but for decades.
“While we don’t favour any of our clients over others, it is definitely a special occasion for us to celebrate with an organisation that has supported us from day one.”
ICHF will bring Creative Stitches and Hobbycrafts to the SECC on 4 – 7 March 2010. Both shows are expected to draw in approximately 15,000 visitors.
Twenty three more Champions will be recognised throughout 2010 as part of the venue’s wish to acknowledge the contributions of key people and organisations to the success of the SECC over the last 25 years.
