Young, who has worked at the company since it was known as Emap Connect, will be responsible for the strategic direction of the group’s primary events, including gift fair Spring Fair International, fashion trade show Pure London and accessories show Jewellery and Watch.

Borges has previously worked for consulting firm AT Kearney, following a ten-year stint at consumer goods conglomerate Unilever. Her role as i2i group operations director will see her covering internal operational processes and system infrastructures, alongside external event operations.

Earlier this year the events company hired Sarah Porter as divisional director of broadcasting and entertainment.

Mark Shashoua, chief executive of i2i, said: "I am delighted to announce these new appointments. By strengthening the management of some of our key portfolios we can further advance our ambitious growth objectives both in the UK and internationally.

"And with our continued investment in operational systems we can create highly optimised processes to deliver consistently excellent service to our clients on all fronts. I look forward to working closely with Louise, Clarice and Sarah as the group continues to evolve."
