In the mid 1980’s, after several years in the retail motor industry, Richard was propelled into a Sales Director role at a contract publishing company and finally found his metier.

Success in that role led to a senior sales management position in Emap’s b2b division. During six years at that company, Richard drove revenue growth on Emap’s two most profitable business weeklies, delivered the company’s first international magazine launch and ran their largest international sales operation.

He moved on in 1995, enjoying further success as a Publisher and Event Director before becoming Managing Director of an exhibitions business at the turn of the Millennium.

Richard’s objectives in founding Auris Associates were straightforward; “I want to work alongside the very best people I know, people who are truly excellent at what they do. I want us to work with clients for whom we can add real value to their business and with whom we share genuine mutual respect.”

Stephanie has enjoyed thus far a varied and consistently successful career in media, events and PR stretching across a quarter of a century.

Fluent in French and German, she began her working life in an in-house PR team, progressed to an advertising agency Account Director role before accepting an international sales position at a major media owner.

Since then, in a variety of Publisher and Group Publisher roles, Stephanie has demonstrated a superb breadth of sales and management skills in a large number of disparate markets; Pharmaceuticals, Finance, Airfreight and Lingerie, to name but a few.

Her decision two years ago to become a Sales and Marketing Consultant took her right back to the coalface and she is now enjoying her work more than ever. A highly accomplished field sales person, Stephanie is equally comfortable running high volume telesales and telemarketing campaigns.
