ABOUT ICHF

ICHF (International Craft & Hobby Fair Ltd) was established in 1976 by founders Maurice and Ruth Brown; their son-in-law David Bennett joined a year later. David quickly took over as MD of the company and remains in the role today. His children Karina Burns & Troy Bennett, along with his son-in-law Simon Burns, have joined the company in recent years, making ICHF a truly family affair!

From small beginnings concentrating on trade exhibitions, the company has grown considerably and now has an exciting annual programme of over 24 market leading consumer and trade shows. Held at major UK exhibition venues, including The NEC Birmingham, SECC Glasgow, Bluewater Events Centre London, Event City at The Trafford Centre Manchester, Westpoint Arena Exeter, Motorpoint Arena Cardiff and The Pavilion, Aintree Racecourse Liverpool.

OUR SHOWS THROUGH THE YEARS...

In 2012 we will organise our 500th show, spanning 35 years, tens of thousands of exhibitors and seen several million visitors through the show doors.

THE FUTURE

Standing out as the leading events organiser in all the industries in which they are involved, ICHF constantly strives to bring all their show visitors an enjoyable and inspiring day out with all the latest supplies, ideas and innovations. Exhibitors can expect professional shows run efficiently, from the moment of booking through to the end of the show.

ICHF are a family business built on tradition, communication and good fair business practice. In 2012 we are expanding further, taking our shows to new venues including Bluewater Events centre and Event City at The Trafford Centre Manchester. We are looking forward to keeping our shows where they have always been - at the top of the tree - and we will continue to make ICHF Events a name to remember for exceptional shows.
