Caroline Norbury becomes first CEO of Creative England

Caroline Norbury has been appointed the first Chief Executive Officer of Creative England, the organisation that will be replacing the Regional Screen Agencies in England within the next few weeks. Norbury has been interim Establishment Director since mid-June.

John Newbigin is Chairman of Creative England: “I welcome Caroline’s appointment as CE’s first CEO. She brings to the job her wide experience as a working producer and as Chief Executive of one of the most successful of the regional screen agencies.”

Our first big job is to make sure there is a seamless transfer of film provision for England’s rich and varied industry outside London, and to get Creative England staff in place to deliver that service.
