Progressive Greetings Live is owned and organised by Max Exhibitions in London, which is owned by four directors (who also own Max Publishing); Jakki Brown, Warren Lomax, Ian Hyder and Rob Willis.
Jakki, Warren, Ian and Rob have all been involved in the greeting and gift industry sectors for many decades via market-leading trade magazines, digital press and awards events across a wide range of consumer products markets in and around that of greeting cards.
Like all the best ideas, the show started life as a scribble on the back of napkin, went through some serious testing and then started to take shape. PG Live celebrated its 18th birthday in 2026, firmly enjoying its position as one of the most successful, category specific trade shows in the United Kingdom.
As a show – and as a business – we are always welcome to hearing new ideas, so whether you’re a visitor, exhibitor, or anyone in-between – please do keep in touch.
