New chair at Aura

Hinton (pictured) succeeds Tim Steere, who led Aura for four years, including overseeing the organisation’s rebrand.

Steere will remain with the organisation as one of five volunteer directors, to oversee finances on behalf of the council.

Hinton said: “Tim has done an amazing job as chair and we’d like to thank him for his long and continuing service. 

“Our vision as a team is to build on his great work and keep Aura doing what it does best: inspiring insight with high quality content and events, plus friendly networking and advice, exclusively for client-side insight and research teams – for another 20 years and beyond, including in additional new and interesting ways.

“I’d like to thank all our members and industry partners for their continued support and look forward to meeting more of you at our upcoming events.”
