In memoriam: David Mayo (1955 – 2026)
3 August 2026
It is with great sorrow that we share the news that David Mayo passed away on 21st July 2026, at the age of 71.
Roger Fox, founder director of the ABTT Theatre Show writes:
“I bring the sad news that David Mayo died suddenly last Tuesday 21st July aged 71.
Many will know David from his work in the West End in the 1970s and his years as part of the Unusual Group special events team. He became particularly familiar to ABTT Theatre Show exhibitors when the Show relocated to Alexandra Palace. Alongside Isobel Hatton he supported me in the organisation and management of the event as it began its growth into the huge success story that it has now become.
David and Isobel married in the last couple of years and it is very sad that they have not been able to enjoy more of their new life together.”
The ABTT alongside Roger extends our heartfelt condolences to David’s family and friends at this time.
