Creative England Seeks Experts To Join Board
Creative England is inviting applications from entrepreneurs and professionals working in the digital and games sectors in any part of the English regions, to join its non-executive Board.
The Creative England Board currently has eight members: Alison Owen (Ruby Films), Andrew Chitty (Illumina Digital), Bill Lawrence (Reel Solutions), Charles Wace (Twofour Group), Heather Rabbatts CBE (Talent House Media), Jonnie Turpie MBE (Maverick TV), Richard Klein (BBC Four) and Chairman John Newbigin.
Applications are now being invited from entrepreneurs and professionals from the English regions who have the skills and experience to help shape Creative England, and grow the creative economy outside London.
John Newbigin, Chair of Creative England said: "The Creative England Board already has some of the most experienced and respected figures in film, TV and the media industries who bring with them an intimate understanding of industry needs in different parts of the country. We are now looking to further strengthen this team with professionals who are at the leading edge of developments in the games and digital media sectors and who understand the challenges and opportunities facing independent creative businesses outside London."
Creative England launched in October 2011, to support the sustainable growth of independent creative businesses, and the talent that feeds them, in every part of England outside London. It is a BFI delegated body for the distribution of National Lottery funds for film, and a recipient of DCMS Grant-in-Aid funds from the BFI to support the strategic development of film in the English Regions. In April it will launch a new £5 million investment scheme to support digital content creating companies in the regions, funded by the Government’s Regional Growth Fund.
