The business of which commenced with ESSA director Chris Skeith describing an association in very good health with excellent member retention rates and showing a healthy balance sheet. In his first year as Chair, Nick Marshall, thanked his predecessor John Robson for passing over a vibrant and healthy association. He also clarified that, although all members face these unique and testing times, as an association of industry experts, members are in a better position to meet them under the banner of ESSA.<\/p>\n<p>David Freeman performed his final duty as an ESSA board member and treasurer, he stood down at the AGM, by taking members through the accounts for the year.<\/p>\n<p>The election of board members witnessed an election with 7 candidates standing for 5 vacancies, 4 because of the required rotation of board members and 1 through a vacancy. Congratulations are due to the following re-elected and new members of the board: Martin Cottrell &#8211; A1 Event &amp; Exhibition Cleaners (re-elected), Sara Cox \u2013 Mayridge (newly elected), Chris Criscione \u2013 Equinox (newly elected), John Robson \u2013 Aztec Event Services (re-elected), and David Wooton &#8211; Creative Marketing Environments (re-elected).

First was an update by Jim Curry, Project Director of FaceTime. Followed by Luke Facey of Alfa Display &amp; Design and chair of the Stand Builders Forum (SBF), who gave an overview of the successes of the SBF. Finally, Martin Cairns of Reeds Carpets gave a quick overview of the work the ESSA strategic sub group.<\/p>\n<p>Once delegates had broken from the AGM, there was a networking lunch followed by a tour of Silverstone, taking in the pits, race control and the winner\u2019s podium to top off a great day for the ESSA community.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018This year\u2019s AGM was simply the best yet, we continued to see more members and member companies in attendance, as well as increasing the content of the event itself with a series of presentations from both the members themselves and our Promotional Body FaceTime. Feedback has been exceptional, and everyone agreed the choice of Silverstone as ESSA\u2019s Venue Partner for 2013 was a winner, as we were treated to fabulous catering, tours of the facilities and received a friendly, warm and professional welcome.\u201d Chris Skeith \u2013 ESSA director.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"http:\/\/www.exhibitionindustrynews.co.uk\/2013\/05\/essa-records-most-successful-agm\/\">ESSA records most successful AGM<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.exhibitionindustrynews.co.uk\">Exhibition Industry News<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Friday 26th April at Silverstone\u2019s \u2018Wing\u2019, a record number of ESSA member companies and delegates gathered for its Annual General Meeting.
