About Us

EcoVelocity is owned and run jointly by IGME Ltd and Media 10.

IGME Limited were the team behind the hugely successful British International Motor Show at ExCeL London and organised the event until its closure in 2008 as a result of a changing market place. This changing nature of the car industry and the reduction in the desire from the consumer to own a gas guzzling vehicle led to the launch of EcoVelocity in 2011. This landmark event has provided an opportunity for manufacturers to demonstrate the technology used in their low carbon vehicles, which are fast becoming an important sector of the car industry. IGME has enabled this expanding market sector to be brought directly to the consumer in an educative and informative manner and is at the forefront of supporting the future of motoring technology.

Formed 9 years ago, Media 10 Limited is a privately owned publishing and events company based in Loughton, Essex. The company has fast become one of the leading players in the events industry as a result of the hugely successful Grand Designs Live exhibition, held twice per year in London and Birmingham, and the recent acquisition of the country's largest consumer exhibition – The Ideal Home Show.

Other events in the portfolio include Britain's Next Top Model Live, The Duke of Essex Polo Trophy, Clerkenwell Design Week, The London Design Trail, Grand Designs Awards, Grand Designs Live South Africa and Grand Designs Live Australia.

Its award-winning magazine portfolio includes Icon Magazine, the leading international architecture and design magazine; Grand Designs, the magazine of the leading property programme on Channel 4; The Selfbuilder, a monthly resource for anyone looking to refurbish, restore or build their own home; On Office, the leading office design magazine; Gurgle Magazine, in partnership with Gurgle.com on sale bi-monthly in all Mothercare and ELC stores nationwide; The Clerkenwell Post, a newspaper publication to support the event and M the music magazine published quarterly for the MCPS-PRS Alliance.

Media 10 currently has partnerships with Channel 4, Talkback Thames, Fremantle Media, The Performing Rights Society and Living TV Group.
