Karis Walker, LEIA President, commented: “On behalf of the LEIA Board, I would like to extend our genuine appreciation to Nick Mellor for the significant impact he has made during his many years with the association. Nick has been instrumental in guiding LEIA through periods of growth, change, and challenge, always bringing clarity, technical insight, and a strong commitment to the industry. His leadership has helped shape the association's direction, strengthen relationships across the sector, and ensure LEIA continues to champion the interests of its members with authority and credibility. We are grateful for the dedication and professionalism Nick has consistently shown throughout his time with LEIA, and we thank him for the steady hand he has provided to the organisation. As he steps back from the role of Managing Director, we wish him every success in the future and look forward to continuing to work with him as he supports LEIA in the years to come.”
