Following our previous story on the acquisition of George Little Management by Providence Equity Partners, a number of senior management changed have now been announced.
GLM, who are responsible for a number of US trade shows including the New York International Gift Fair have announced that Charles G. McCurdy (currently CEO of GLM Holdings) will also take on the CEO role for GLM at the operating company level.
The company's current long -time management team of Alan Steel, Jeff Little and Jack Withian will be 'transitioning out' moving forward.
"GLM is well-positioned in the trade show industry," said McCurdy. "Our strategy of creating both face-to-face and online, buying, selling and networking platforms for our customers will create opportunities for expanded growth. With the acquisition of GLM by Providence Equity, the company is now positioned to begin its next chapter, which will continue to build and evolve on GLM's long history of facilitating buyers and sellers in the specialty retail space."
Alan Steel commented, "Jeff, Jack and I are proud of the great company we have created in GLM. Now that we have successfully guided the company through the recession and managed the successful sale to Providence Equity, we are handing off the stewardship of the company to new leadership. We wish Charlie, Doug and Providence the best of success with GLM."
