Spring and Autumn Fair has announced the promotion of Alejandra Campos to event director of Spring and Autumn Fair.

“I am thrilled to promote Alejandra to event director of Spring and Autumn Fair,” said Spring and Autumn Fair Portfolio director, Nicola Meadows. “Since joining Hyve, she has shown immense talent, passion and drive and we are confident she will bring enormous energy and expertise. Alejandra and Daniel make a remarkable team and bring many years of invaluable experience in the industry and a combined vision to drive progress, innovate, and develop the shows to ensure they continue to meet the needs of our community and deliver return on time and investment.”

Alejandra joined Hyve Group plc in July 2022 as event director of Moda, one of the UK’s longest standing fashion trade shows which is now an integral part of Spring Fair and Autumn Fair. During her career, she has achieved high-level experience working on pioneering and successful trade exhibitions, consumer shows, conferences and awards ceremonies across a variety of countries and sectors including homeware, fashion, wedding, giftware, healthcare and automotive.
