KIM BAYLEY NOMINATED FOR OUTSTANDING LEADERSHIP AWARD

Kim Bayley, CEO of digital entertainment and retail association ERA, has been highlighted for her outstanding leadership by the Trade Association Forum (TAF), the trade association for UK trade associations.

Nominations were announced today for TAF’s annual Trade Association Awards, due to take place in February 2024, and Bayley has been nominated for the Outstanding Leadership Award alongside representatives from the National Residential Landlords Association, the UK Warehousing Association, the Association for Healthcare Technology Providers and the Chemical Business Association.

Bayley has run ERA for the past two decades, transforming an organisation which previously represented purely physical retailers into one which now represents some of the largest technology companies in the world including Spotify, YouTube and Amazon, as well as High Street names such as HMV and GAME and hundreds of independent record shops, for whom ERA organises Record Store Day UK.

ERA Chair Ben Drury said, “Kim’s skills as a trade association CEO are well known across the entertainment industry, but to see her recognised by her peers in the trade association sector is a further endorsement of her accomplishments. We will be rooting for her on February 22.”
