In the dynamic world of retail, having a strong and visionary governance team is paramount to our success. Collectively, our Board represents a powerhouse of expertise, each member contributing a unique set of skills and insights to propel our organisation forward.
We are delighted to welcome Robert Lee (Lee Longlands) and Carl Milton (Baker Group) to the board who collectively bring many years of experience and knowledge to the team.
With their dedication to supporting independent retailers, our leadership team ensures that we remain the UK's leading buying group, empowering businesses to thrive independently.
“Commerciality is incredibly important in the current competitive retail landscape and we have a strong Board membership who is determined to ensure AIS is not only fit for purpose but fit for the future to ensure that the membership thrives in 2024 and beyond.”
Sue Kemp, Managing Director
“The new open management style and level of participation within the organisation and across the membership continues to make a huge impact. We need a strong AIS but AIS also needs strong Members. We need to be bold, ambitious and create a new future as we work with each other and with AIS. Being an AIS Member is a responsibility we all share”
Neville Chamberlain, Chair of AIS
