Outgoing BBC director-general Tim Davie has been appointed as the next co-chair of the Creative Industries Council.
The council acts as a forum for opening dialogue between industry and the government, aiming to give the creative sector a clearer voice for advocacy.
Davie will lead the council alongside co-chairs Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy and Business Secretary Peter Kyle, with a focus on ‘Sector Plan priorities’, relating to innovation, financial access, workforce, trade, and investment.
“It is a privilege to be asked to Chair the Creative Industries Council and champion a sector that’s a world-class success story for the UK,” Davie, incoming chair of the Creative Industries Council, said:
“With the right backing, there’s a huge opportunity for our creative industries to deliver not only significant growth for the UK economy in the years ahead, but good growth that supports jobs and skills in every part of the country.
“I look forward to working with the government to ensure that this sector will continue to punch well above its weight for the UK.”
