Our Sales Manager celebrates 25 years!

November 20, 2024

Paul Thomas joined Axbridge based exhibition organisers, Hale Events (that’s us!), in 1999. He has sold stands at our portfolio of South West trade shows ever since then, including Giving & Living, which takes place at Westpoint, Exeter, every January.

“What an asset to the company” enthused our MD Mike Anderson. “Paul has brought fun, hard work and great skill to his role, progressing from stand sales to managing and driving our sales department”.

In today’s fast-moving world, where people often move around, we feel very lucky to have such long standing employees, like Paul, who bring trust, knowledge, and integrity to their role.

“I’m not sure I’ll manage another 25 years” joked Paul “But I hope to be here for a good few more.”

If you’d like to know more about us, and our other trade shows, which include The Source trade show and Expowest Cornwall, visit www.hale-events.com. We also deliver Rise & Shine, the bi-weekly South West hospitality & catering enewsletter, full of news stories from across the region. Why not take a look at riseandshine.hale-events.com, and subscribe while you’re there?
