Genie Management Group announces the acquisition of the Executive Recruitment Exhibition and Conference (EREC), the UK's largest event focused on the executive recruitment industry. 

The Exhibition is the largest executive recruitment exhibition and conference held in the UK and its acquisition consolidates the strategic growth of Genie Management Group, the owners of OrangeGenie, as a key service provider to the HR and recruitment industry.

EREC 2008, now in its third year, was established by Eton Events Ltd in 2006 and has quickly established itself as a focal point for the executive recruitment industry.  Last year's event attracted over 2500 visitors and more than 80 exhibitors.

"We are proud to have created EREC and delighted that it is being taken over by Genie Management Group.  The event needs the additional resource and vision that a large group can bring in order to move it onto the next level in its development.  The new owners have some exciting ideas and bring a real knowledge of the executive recruitment industry to the table" said Andrew Clark, managing director of Eton Events "we will remain involved in the event but wish every success to Genie Management Group".

Graham Fisher, Managing Director of Genie Management Group stated "we have been looking for the right opportunity to consolidate and grow our influence in the recruitment industry for some time. We have grown our Umbrella Company, OrangeGenie, into one of the UK's leading employment management companies and are keen to add to the group with businesses that compliment our vision. Event management was a natural area of growth for us given our knowledge of the recruitment industry and my background in running major sports tournaments.  We believe the foundations are in place to dramatically increase the size of the exhibition this year and to further develop the conference."

EREC 2008 will be held at the Business Design Centre in Islington on 26th and 27th June.
