Diversified Communications has acquired Aquaculture UK – the trade show dedicated to the growing aquaculture sector.
The last edition of the biennial show, held in Aviemore, Scotland, in May 2018, had over 2,400 visitors and 190 exhibitors. The upcoming edition, to be held on 19 - 21 May 2020 at Macdonald Aviemore Highland Resort in Scotland, is expected to draw over 3,000 attendees and 200 exhibitors.
Diversified’s managing director, Carsten Holm, said it was great to welcome Aquaculture UK to Diversified Communications. “We have been watching the growing success of the event and believe that its focus and subject matter complements our, already substantial, international presence in the sector extremely well. We also feel that the sense of community, customer focus, long-term vision and attention to detail, is very similar to how we approach our events,” he said.
The event complements Diversified Communications’ event and publishing portfolio, which already includes Seafood Expo Global/Seafood Processing Global, Seafood Expo North America/Seafood Processing North America, Seafood Expo Asia, International Workboat Show, Pacific Marine Expo, National Fisherman, SeafoodSource, and Fish eNews.
Diversified takes over the reins from Sheffield-based 5M Enterprises who will remain involved and work with Diversified UK through the 2020 edition to ensure continuity for exhibitors and visitors alike.
