After three years at the helm of the garden industry's leading exhibition, Glee show director, Daniel Thurlow has confirmed that he is starting a new chapter within Emap Connect as the organisers sponsorship director.During his three years as Glee’s show director, Daniel navigated the challenging economic picture as well as seeing off the potential threat of a number of competitive launches. Added to this, Daniel was the driving force behind the introduction of a range of value-driven initiatives that were designed to help exhibitors, as well as enhancing the range of attractions for visitors. At Daniel’s departure, Glee is in great shape, with space bookings 19% ahead of this time last year, and meterage expected to overtake last year's show in early July.Sam Mitcham, Glee’s event manager, who joined the team in June, following his five year tenure as event manager of Ifsec – the world largest security trade show - will continue to head up the day-to-day sales efforts for Glee in the lead up to and beyond the September show.

Sam’s remit will also see him working closely with Glee’s marketing manager David Langrish and operations manager Nick White to continue to enhance and grow the show.Sam Mitcham, Glee event manager said: “On behalf of myself and the Glee team we would like to thank Daniel for all his hard work and commitment to the show over the last three years. His expertise, dedication and fresh thinking have helped Glee grow and develop to where it is today –a true showcase for the industry. Looking ahead, myself and the team will build on the strong foundations that Daniel leaves behind to ensure that Glee continues to deliver a show that the industry deserves.”Glee will focus on the biggest brands, leading retail inspiration and product innovation during 2010.
