La connaissance et la passion de Duncan pour la communauté que sert la FESPA ont facilité la décision de revenir en 2022 pour diriger l'équipe marketing et événements après près de trois ans à organiser des événements de classe mondiale pour la communauté RH.

Fort de plus de 20 ans d'expérience en communication et événements B2B, l'expérience de Duncan en tant que journaliste senior et plus récemment directeur d'événements de tous les formats d'événements dans plusieurs secteurs - de la sécurité publique, FMCG et alimentation et boissons - l'a bien préparé à jouer un rôle clé dans la croissance de la FESPA en mettant l'accent sur un contenu significatif et des connexions pour la communauté mondiale de l'impression, diffusés par le biais de notre programme de récompenses, de conférences et d'événements phares lors de nos expositions mondiales de 2010 à 2019.

Duncan aime jouer au golf, faire du paddleboard et d’autres activités de plein air avec ses amis et ses deux filles adolescentes.

The team were very proud to win the AEO Award for Best Overseas Show for FESPA Mexico 2017.  Following the terrible earthquake in Mexico on 19 September 2017, FESPA postponed the 10th edition of the exhibition during its build-up and rescheduled successfully just two months later.
