About B2B Events.
Back to Basics Events Ltd (B2B Events) was formed by Roger Sumner and Helen Martin in 2006, when they took over the
Malvern Antiques & Collectors Fair and the Malvern Flea & Collectors Fair. These two fairs are well known on the fair circuit
and held at the Three Counties Showground in Malvern, Worcestershire.
In 2007 B2B added the Kinver Antiques & Collectors Fair to their
portfolio.
The Edinburgh Antiques & Collectors Fair came on board in the latter half of 2009 and very recently B2B Events were awarded the contract to run the
Kent International Antiques & Collectors Fair at Detling, near
Maidstone.
The Organisers have a long history in the industry.
Roger worked at the Malvern fairs for ten years, preparing the venue and, with
his regular team of stewards, ensured that dealers arrival and set-up
went smoothly.
Helen has been a dealer and exhibitor for over twenty years. She too has also organised antiques and collectors fairs, so has seen both sides of the fence,
and therefore is able to empathise with you all.
In 2009 B2B were joined by David Craig, who has dealt for many years on the Scottish circuit. David will be responsible for B2B's Ingliston Fair, near Edinburgh.
With the acquisition of the Ingliston fair the B2B team has expanded once
again. In February 2010 Alan Yourston joined the company as a Director.
Alan brings his ten years experience as Fairs Manager and Senior Fairs
Manager for DMG and latterly with IACF. He is a well-known figure around
the fairs circuit. Before joining DMG, Alan had his own business running
events such as the East Midlands Ideal Home Exhibition. His events experience goes beyond just the Antiques circuit and his expertise will help B2B Events
continue to provide a first class service.
