Airmic CEO John Hurrell is to step down after nine years in the role.
Hurrell will remain in his position until a successor has been appointed. Nick Hughes, board member and honorary secretary for Airmic, is leading the process to find a new CEO.
The association has appointed an executive search firm and a small panel consisting of Hughes, Paul Goulding and Lynda Lucas, to oversee the process.
Clive Clarke, Airmic chairman, commented: “We would like to thank John Hurrell for his outstanding work over the past nine years. Under his leadership, the association has gone from strength to strength.”
Hurrell added: “Airmic has the most exciting business plan ever and fantastic support from its board, members and sponsors, but I feel the time is right for new leadership to take Airmic to the next stage on behalf of its members.”
“One of my first decisions as CEO was to introduce a nine-year maximum term for Airmic board members, so I feel it is only right for me to hand over the reins having completed nine years at the helm.”
