HONG KONG Paul Woodward has been named managing director of UFI, the global association of the exhibition industry, after Vincent Gerard retired in July.
Woodward has been the UFI Asia/Pacific Regional Manager in Hong Kong since 2004.
UFI’s president, Manfred Wutzlhofer, said: “Our UFI members will appreciate the seamless management transition Paul is making.”
Now based in Paris, Woodward will be responsible for managing UFI’s teams there, in Abu Dhabi and Hong Kong.
“I am really looking forward to having the opportunity to work closely with our members in 83 countries,” said Woodward.
