History

The business was founded by the Shashoua family as "International Trade Exhibitions" (ITE) in 1991 and then launched a series of trade events in the new market economies of Russia and the CIS.[3] It was first listed on the London Stock Exchange in 1998. In 2008 it acquired Primexpo NW LLC, a conference organiser based in St Petersburg[4] and has subsequently acquired further businesses in Moscow (MVK),[5] Krasnodar (Krasnodar LLC),[6] Istanbul (YEMF and Platform Exhibitions),[7] Kyiv (Autoexpo and Beautex),[8] Mumbai (ABEC)[9] and Kuala Lumpur (Trade Link).[10]

The company rebranded from ITE Group to Hyve Group in September 2019.[11]

In December 2019, Hyve acquired two US-based events: Shoptalk and Groceryshop.[12]

On 15 March 2023, Hyve and Heron UK Bidco Limited announced they had agreed the terms of a recommended cash offer to be made by Heron for the entire issued and to be issued share capital of Hyve.[13]
