Addressing Aito’s annual general meeting on Thursday (19 April), Rowles admitted Aito’s HQ team had been "short-staffed over the past few years", and the association "short on policy for a while".
He said the new hires, head of industry affairs Christina Brazier and head of membership Emma Taylor, "would give HQ the resource to achieve what we want them to". Aito also recently took on marketing communications manager Amy Waller.
