EUROPE - Publisher and exhibition organiser Ocean Media has continued its expansion into continental Europe with the appointment of company MD James Brooks-Ward as head of its European Bridal portfolio.
Brooks-Ward replaces Olaf Van Den Brink and Andrew Lookman, who both remain with the company. Brooks-Ward told EW his key focus was to go out and develop business prospects.
“We have been looking to expand our European business,” he said. “It makes sense that we expand the business within the continent over the next two years at as quick a rate as we can.
“We have a very strong team together in the UK. Our UK portfolio now has some excellent managers on-board, so where I should be is where we can develop and grow business.
“This is a new and exciting thing for me as well,” he added.
