ITE Group PLC
2 November 1999
Appointment of Steve Monnington as Chief Executive
and Alex Bernstein to the Board
ITE Group plc ('ITE' or the 'Company'), the international
exhibitions specialist, is pleased to announce the
appointments of Steve Monnington as Group Chief Executive
and Alex Bernstein as an executive director responsible
for Russia and Kazakhstan. Both appointments are with
immediate effect. Steve Monnington, aged 42, has an
extensive background in the exhibition and publishing
industry. In 1989 he joined Blenheim Group plc (when
Lawrie Lewis was group chief executive) as UK Finance
Director and Group Financial Controller. In 1990, he was
appointed UK Commercial Director. In 1993 he was
appointed Director for International Development, joining
the main board of Blenheim. In this role he was
responsible for all acquisitions.
Steve left Blenheim in February 1997 after its merger
with Miller Freeman following the take over by United
News & Media, to set up his own company Mayfield Media
Strategies (MMS), an independent broker and consultancy
for the acquisition and disposal of exhibition and
publishing companies. Over the last two and a half years
he has worked with Neville Buch in establishing Tarsus
Group plc. In 1998 he joined the main board of Tarsus as
its Development Director.
Alex Bernstein, aged 51, has worked as a consultant to
ITE since 1993 with responsibility for ITEs expansion in
Russia and Kazakhstan as the exclusive sales agent for
ITE. Following the variation and acquisition of his
existing consultancy agreement by ITE he has agreed to
join the main board of ITE with responsibility for Russia
and Kazahkstan.
Lawrie Lewis, Chairman, said, ' I am delighted that with
these two appointments we have added experienced
exhibition management and created a new era of management
stability in Russia. Steve Monningtons experience both
at Blenheim and more recently at Tarsus will add
considerable strength to our management team and will
assist in ITEs growth plans in emerging markets. Alex
Bernstein has been involved in ITE from its inception and
his appointment clarifies his role and the role of our
sales agency operation in Russia. This new role plus his
network of contacts is a vital element to ITEs
continuing growth record in Russia.'
