The Dan Assor Show #eventprofs

Raccoon Media Group (Raccoon) is set to double its portfolio in the first year since it was acquired by Cuil Bay Capital (CBC) with the acquisition of Abilities Expo in the USA. This announcement brings Raccoon’s UK and US show portfolio to 17 events with more launches and acquisitions to be announced later in the year.

In this exclusive interview with Raccoon CEO, Mike Seaman discusses the reasons behind the acquisition, M&A strategy in general, and how he is getting on his new role under Cuil Bay Capital's ownership.

Abilities Expo, a series of seven exhibitions running across the USA, provides solutions for people with disabilities, their families and their carers and currently sees over 30 thousand visitors attending its events each year. The purchase will bolster Raccoon’s footing in the health and wellbeing market in the USA and joins Snowbound Expo, The Boston Run Show and The Boston Outdoor Expo in the company’s US portfolio.

Abilities live and digital properties connect the disability community to a wide range of resources to help improve accessibility and promote greater independence.
