EasyFairs buys UK beauty biz

Events. EasyFairs, the international exhibitions company based in Belgium, has acquired Aesthetics Media including conference, print, digital and awards properties. The deal complements EasyFairs’ own CCR (Clinical, Cosmetic, Regenerative) event and boosts the company’s media offer in the UK. ACE (Aesthetics Conference & Exhibition) operates in the spring while CCR takes place in the autumn. The whole Aesthetics Media staff will transfer to EasyFairs which operates over 200 events in 17 countries with 2017-18 revenues of €157m. There are persistent rumours that EasyFairs will be sold, either in whole or part, later in 2019. Private equity is circling. Of course.
