Haymarket, the international media group, has appointed Maryam Hamizadeh as the new Director of its Exhibitions division. Maryam will be in charge of Haymarket’s portfolio of exhibitions - The Clothes Show, Autosport International, Classic & Sports Car: The London Show, Cereals and Fruit Focus, covering markets as diverse as fashion and arable farming. The new role will see Maryam responsible for the overall strategy of Haymarket’s exhibition brands, with a focus on building and maintaining relationships with internal stakeholders, clients and partners. She will also be tasked with developing new revenue opportunities, while constantly focused on delivery of the existing shows. Maryam started as the first ever placement student at Haymarket in 2002 on The Clothes Show (formerly Clothes Show Live). She then progressed across a variety of roles until being offered the position of Director of The Clothes Show. During her 13 years working on the exhibition, Maryam oversaw last year’s rebrand of The Clothes Show, as well as being responsible for a number of successful brand extensions. Maryam’s appointment comes after Exhibitions Managing Director, Gavin Brown, passed away in March 2015. Maryam has recently returned from maternity leave and begins her role immediately, reporting to Group CEO, Kevin Costello.
