Woods quits AEO after only three months

Phil Woods has left the Association of Exhibition Organisers (AEO) barely three months into his role as director. Woods has returned to his home town of Cheltenham, citing personal reasons for his decision to leave the trade body. EIA Group chief executive Trevor Foley said: “It is a real disappointment that things haven’t worked out for Phil here. He is a great guy and I wish him all the best for the future.” Woods joined the exhibition organiser’s division of the EIA after four years working for beauty manufacturer Sterex Electrolysis, where he worked most recently as sales and marketing director.
