I was delighted to be asked to help management again on the terms of the sale of the business to Informa and wish them the best with their new partnership.”
Douglas Emslie, CEO, Tarsus Group commented: “We appreciate the valuable guidance we received from David and the wider Jamieson team as we worked to complete this agreement.

The deep commercial, operational and cultural fit between the two businesses is clear – the combination of the Tarsus portfolio with Informa’s Events business will bring market-leading brands, exceptional talent and strong customer relationships together across a range of B2B markets creating enhanced value for our customers and partners.”
