Tarsus Group, the organiser of the Labelexpo Global Series of exhibitions and publisher of Labels & Labeling magazine, has appointed Nick Davison as managing director of the Tarsus Labels division.

Davidson takes over from Lisa Milburn, who has been promoted to group director and joins the main Tarsus board.

This role will see her managing several key divisions, including Labels, Aerospace, OFFPRICE, FounderMade and Tarsus Media, as well as driving organic growth. A Tarsus Group stalwart, Milburn has been with the group for over 20 years, having progressed through the business to head up the Labels division.

Davison joins Tarsus from Hyve Group, where he headed up the Breakbulk portfolio, a global series of events for the project logistics and oversize cargo industry. In this role, he managed five events on four continents and a monthly publication. His other roles have included running the Spring/Autumn Fair, the UK’s largest trade exhibition.

Doug Emslie, CEO of the Tarsus Group, said, “It is my great pleasure to welcome Nick Davison on board as the new managing director of the Tarsus Labels Group at a time when the business is bouncing back and in the run-up to our premier event, Labelexpo Europe 2023.”

The existing leadership team of strategy director Andy Thomas-Emans and portfolio director Jade Grace will support Davison.
