Events and media group ROAR B2B, announced, 31 August, it had completed the acquisition of Environment Media Group Ltd (EMG), a UK-based media and events business focused on the waste management and environment sector for an undisclosed sum.
ROAR B2B, operates in three main industry sectors, Business Technology, Social Care, and Environment. Events in the company's portfolio include RWM, Call & Contact Centre Expo, B2B Marketing Expo and Naidex. These events place a focus on sectors that are critical to how we live, communicate and work, from effective management of the ageing population and large-scale commercial recycling to the technology of tomorrow.
ROAR B2B said the new acquisition would allow it to “further expand its range of well-established live and digital events”. The deal will also bring ROAR’s current event RWM (Resource & Waste Management) into the same portfolio as LetsRecycle.
Duncan Kirk, CEO of ROAR B2B, said: “This acquisition represents a very exciting move for our business. We very much look forward to working with EMG, to integrate our existing offering and expand our capabilities going forward. Having admired and closely followed their progress, we are delighted to now have the opportunity to work with Rob and his team.”
Rob Mowat, managing director of EMG, commented; “We are thrilled to be joining forces with ROAR B2B, this acquisition will allow us to continue growing our business... We look forward to working with the RWM team to form the No.1 media partner to the environment and waste management market.”
