We’ve been told that Jonathan, CEO for the last five years, has now left the AVA. In this letter to members, Chairman Dave Ward breaks the news and thanks Jonathan for all his support and efforts over the years. 24Vend’s Gillian White takes over as CEO in the interim.
‘I am writing to inform you that Jonathan Hilder is leaving the AVA with immediate effect. Jonathan has been with the AVA for 5 years and has successfully steered the association through the relocation to West Wycombe and reinvigorating the Regional and Events programmes. He also oversaw two successful AVEX shows. Jonathan is leaving us to continue his photographic business and a new venture in the Healthy Eating arena. The board like to thank Jonathan for all his work and wishes him every success with his new ventures.
In the interim Gillian White will act as CEO. Gillian as you know is our current European Affairs representative and a member of Executive team.
Yours Sincerely,
