19.09.2014 - UBM plc forms UBM Americas division
UBM plc announces the formation of UBM Americas, which consolidates UBM’s events-led marketing services businesses in North and South America into a single organisation with a streamlined management structure. PR Newswire is unaffected by this change. UBM Americas will be headquartered in New York and led by Sally Shankland. Sally was previously CEO of UBM Connect, UBM’s non-technology-related business in the US and Mexico. The integration of UBM Tech and UBM Connect will commence immediately, with UBM Brazil following in January 2015. Generating revenues of approximately $355m and employing 800 staff in 14 locations, UBM Americas will serve a range of professional and commercial communities. UBM Americas will be focussed on delivering long-term profitable growth as well as improving effectiveness and efficiency. The formation of UBM Americas completes the restructuring of UBM’s events-led marketing services activities along geographical lines, with UBM Americas operating alongside UBM Asia and UBM Live (which operates in Europe, the Middle East and Africa).
