Specialised Exhibitions transitions to new name: Montgomery Group Africa
October 2025
News
As part of a strategic move to streamline operations, strengthen regional alignment and support long-term growth, Specialised Exhibitions has transitioned to a new name as Montgomery Group Africa. This name change reflects the consolidation of Montgomery Group’s regional divisions across Africa under one unified management structure, creating a more agile, efficient and future-focused organisation. “This transition is more than a name change, it’s a reflection of where we are headed. By bringing our teams together under one identity, we are building the clarity, strength and agility needed to grow with purpose across all regions,” says Gary Corin, who continues as managing director following the transition.

Celebrating 130 years in 2025, Montgomery Group is the UK’s longest-running independent events organiser. Montgomery Group has organised events across Africa since launching Specialised Exhibitions in South Africa in 1968. Since then, the Montgomery presence has expanded to include events in Botswana, Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Zambia, Libya and Zimbabwe, alongside a well-established portfolio of trade exhibitions throughout South Africa.
“Our locally based marketing team are leading the rollout of the Montgomery Group Africa brand across the African region,” says Corin. “This includes overseeing all marketing communications and collateral development. They are working closely with our East and West African marketing teams, drawing on their valuable regional insight and experience to ensure a consistent and impactful brand presence across all markets.”
