ATEI, ICE and ICEi future at Earls Court secured
London Show organisers Clarion ATE have confirmed that Earls Court will remain home for ATEI, ICE and ICEi for the foreseeable future. Speculation surrounding the future of Earls Court has been widespread in the lead up to the London Show, however it appears that the future of the popular venue has been assured.
The news follows an announcement that the exhibition centre's owner, EC&O Venues, has entered into a 50:50 joint venture with a property investment company to build on and enhance Earls Court's status as one of the UK's premier events venues. Long term contracts with exhibition organisers, an agreement with the London Organising Committee for the Olympic Games (LOCOG), as well as almost £1 million which will be invested in Earls Court, will also help assure the future of the venue.
Peter Rusbridge, Chief Executive of Clarion ATE, commented: "Speculation and rumours surrounding the future of Earls Court were beginning to cause some concern for some of our exhibitors, who have shared in the growth and prosperity of the London Show since it moved to the venue in 1992. We obviously welcome this news, together with the reassuring commitment from our landlords that our tenancy agreement will continue to be honoured."
