Screen Yorkshire, a regional screen agency in northern England, has announced a panel of experts who will advise on the Yorkshire Content Fund. The fund will invest nearly GBP8 million of European Regional Development Funding into media including TV and film.

The Independent Advisory Panel is made up of nearly a dozen individuals who are legal, media and finance experts. Upcoming regional investments will be announced in the next few weeks.

This Independent Advisory Panel is a critical element of the processes behind the new multi-million pound Yorkshire Content Fund and will ensure long term benefits to the region from the fund.
