David Gilbertson has been appointed CEO of Emap following its acquisition by Eden Bidco, the investment vehicle of Apax Partners and Guardian Media Group plc (GMG). The B2B publisher has interests in the education sector via the BETT and Education shows and also runs one day conferences for schools and children’s services. His arrival is likely to signal further acquisitions for the ambitious shareholders. Will the deal be good or bad news for the ambitions of Guardian Professional in the education sector?
