The January Furniture Show has welcomed two new faces as it strategically strengthens its organising team following the resounding success of the new furniture show.
Mary Merrills joins as marketing manager and Sarah Walker-Bennett as sales executive to make a 10-strong team which is headed up by industry stalwarts, Laraine Janes and Theresa Raymond.
Mary has an extensive background in marketing and sales. Her previous post as marketing manager at Corndell Furniture for the past 12 years has seen her involved in everything from company branding and advertising to websites and trade shows.
With over 20 years of media sales knowledge and experience, Sarah has worked in advertising sales and marketing within newspapers, magazines (including the furniture trade) and local radio. She was also part of the team responsible for producing the January show catalogue in 2007 and 2008.
Co-director of The January Furniture Show, Laraine Janes, says: "The success of the new format show at Birmingham's NEC has meant that Mary and Sarah are welcome additions to the company and have the experience and knowledge we are looking for to take the January Furniture Show forward.
"We are known for delivering first class events and a high quality service and by strengthening our team we have the capacity to take advantage of growth and further cement our position as the first port of call for buyers across the furnishings sector."
The January Furniture Show line-up is further supported by its PR agency, AKA PR and design agency, Conical.
The 2016 January Furniture Show will run for three days from Sunday 24th to Tuesday 26th January.
