BADA Fair appoints History of Art graduate Madeleine Williams as fair manager
Most recently she has worked as Events Manager at Guardian News and Media.



LONDON.- The BADA Antiques & Fine Art Fair has announced the appointment of Madeleine Williams as Fair Manager, to start in her position in August 2015.

The BADA Fair has a reputation as the leading event for sourcing antiques and fine art of assured authenticity and quality. It is presented as an elegant showcase for BADA Members, to promote the values and pre-eminence of the Association. The superiority of furniture, painting and objects at the BADA Fair is complemented by the beautiful presentation of the purpose built marquee located in the fashionable Duke of York Square, Chelsea.

Former V&A and Guardian Events Manager to oversee BADA Fair
A History of Art graduate, Madeleine will bring to the position an impressive breadth of experience in events management for prestigious national organisations. Most recently she has worked as Events Manager at Guardian News and Media, developing and project managing the launch of Guardian Membership and Guardian Live. Previous positions include Membership Events Manager at the Victoria & Albert Museum and Events Manager at the Country Landowners Association, forming marketing and sponsorship partnerships with their Game Fair.

Richard Coles, BADA Fair Chairman comments: "I am delighted that Madeleine Williams is joining the BADA Fair. Her organisational skills and experience in multi-platform marketing will bring great energy to the BADA Fair and we look forward to working with her to continue the progress and development of Britain's premier national antiques fair."

Madeleine will take over the running of the Fair from BADA Fair Director, Gillian Craig who will be stepping down in September 2015.

Gillian Craig to step down as Fair Director after 23 years
Gillian Craig advised the Board of Directors of her decision to step down immediately after the close of the highly successful 2015 Fair. Gillian has organised the BADA Fair from its inception in 1993, after being approached by the BADA following her organisation of The Burlington House Fair at The Royal Academy. The BADA Fair has since become widely renowned and would not be what it is today without Gillian's vision and dedication.

Gillian comments "My task was to start the BADA Fair and to establish it in the international calendar of leading art and antiques fairs. Now, Madeleine will evolve it and carry it forward."

Richard Coles adds: "It is great news that Gillian Craig will remain in a consultancy role for six months, so that we can ensure a smooth handover to Madeleine Williams."

The next BADA Antiques & Fine Art Fair will take place 9-15 March 2016.
