UBM SES chairman to retire

Stephen Tan will retire from his position as chairman of UBM SES with effect from June 30, a role he has held since January 2015.

Tan joined the company in 1984 as joint deputy CEO and became chief executive in 1989. He relinquished the position in 2015.

Under his decisive leadership and deep experiences across the industry, UBM SES has grown from strength to strength and is now one of the largest and most successful trade exhibition organisers in Asia.

“I am grateful and honoured for the opportunity to be at the helm for 26 out of the 33 years spent with the company. To say that it has been a memorable journey would be a great understatement. I am very proud of what we have accomplished through the years, as individuals, as teams and as a company,” said Tan in a media statement.

“UBM plc brings to the table sound corporate vision, dynamic leadership and a deep pool of industry knowledge and best practices. There is no better time than now to announce my retirement. I have no doubt that with the joint forces of two strong entities, the future of UBM SES will be well paved for many years to come,” he added.

Earlier in April, the company announced a new chief executive.
