The Association of Independent Music (AIM) has announced a new chair and appointed a management group to oversee its running.
Transgressive Records co-founder Tim Dellow becomes the association’s first chair, taking over from Ninja Tune’s Peter Quicke, who has been acting as interim chair.
He will oversee AIM board matters and work closely with chief executive Paul Pacifico on driving the organisation’s strategic direction.
The following AIM members have been named as the first management group - Jane Third (Because Music), Hannah Overton (Secretly Group), Martin Mills (Beggars Group) and Peter Quicke (Ninja Tune).
Dellow said: ‘I'm honoured to have been elected as the chairperson of AIM. The Independent sector is flourishing, reflected in this incredibly dynamic board, which has great ambitions to develop talent and break artists in this exciting landscape.
'I am sure that AIM will continue to reflect the true voice of independent entrepreneurship, and help our diverse membership fight for ethical deals and approaches on behalf of the artists they represent.'
Pacifico added: ‘It’s great to have the support of such a high calibre chairperson and management group as we enter the next chapter of AIM. The management board will help us in addressing a number of challenges facing AIM and the independent community, with an initial focus being strengthening the support AIM provides regionally to members.’
