Trade Associations

Gavin Ellwood leads the Association Practice which specialises in the appointment of senior leaders, advising the boards of trade associations on the appointment of senior roles and their communications teams.

Our work includes recruiting ICAEW’s new Director of Communications and Brand, the Director of Public Affairs for ABTA, and the Chief Executive of The Publishers Association.

We also recruit into association’s communications teams and have recently helped The Royal College of Radiologists and Energy UK strengthen their teams. As well as permanent appointments, we have placed Visit Britain’s Interim Head of Media and London First’s Interim Media Relations Manager.

Ellwood Atfield regularly publishes reports and whitepapers on the trends and remuneration within Trade Associations. Please get in touch to learn more, and receive your copy.
