Exhibition Specialist, Montgomery Group Africa, Announces Name Change
In a significant move, the Montgomery Group, a renowned events organiser with a rich history dating back to 1895, is set to strengthen its presence across Africa. The company, now known as Montgomery Group Africa, will launch its first event in Cape Town in October 2025, in addition to its annual events in Johannesburg.
The transition aims to build a stronger, more connected presence across all regions in Africa. This move is part of a strategic plan to streamline operations, strengthen regional alignment, and support long-term growth. Gary Corin, currently Managing Director for South Africa, has taken on the additional role of Managing Director for West Africa events, while Angela Kinyua continues to lead as Managing Director of the East African events.
Montgomery Group Africa operates within the unified Montgomery Group Africa structure. Its portfolio includes over 50 events co-located across 15 countries, with a global team of over 150 passionate events professionals. The locally based marketing team is leading the rollout of the Montgomery Group Africa brand across the African region.
One of the key highlights of the expanded portfolio is the packaging, plastics, print, food processing, and labelling exhibitions under Propak Africa, Propak Cape, Propak West Africa, and Propak East Africa. These events are expected to be the largest in Africa, offering a platform for industry connection, business generation, and community engagement.
Securexpo and its co-locates, along with Securex Expo, A-OSH Expo, Facilities Management Expo, and Fire Expo, will complement Montgomery Group Africa's growing portfolio. These events focus on sectors such as security, occupational safety and health, facilities management, and fire safety, providing valuable opportunities for businesses and professionals in these fields.
Montgomery Group has been organising events in Africa since launching Specialised Exhibitions in South Africa in 1968. Over the years, its presence in Africa has expanded to include events in Botswana, Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Zambia, Libya, and Zimbabwe, alongside its well-established portfolio of trade exhibitions throughout South Africa.
The name change to Montgomery Group Africa took effect from 01 September 2025. This consolidation of Montgomery Group's regional divisions across Africa under one unified management structure is expected to enhance collaboration, improve resource allocation, and enable faster decision-making.
Montgomery Group, a fifth-generation family-owned business, is the UK's longest-running independent events organiser, celebrating 130 years in 2025. The company's mission remains unchanged - to deliver world-class exhibitions that provide meaningful platforms for industry connection, business generation, and community engagement.
It's important to note that all current invoicing and banking details will continue as usual. However, for any queries related to the transition, the locally based marketing team is available to assist.
As Montgomery Group Africa embarks on this exciting new chapter, it looks forward to continuing to serve the African market with high-quality, impactful events.
