Creative Industries Council
The Creative Industries Council is a joint forum between the creative industries and government.
Role of the group
Set up to be a voice for creative industries, the council focus on areas where there are barriers to growth facing the sector, such as access to finance, skills, export markets, regulation, intellectual property (IP) and infrastructure. Action will be taken forward in these areas through the work of a small number of ‘task and finish’ working groups.

The council is co-chaired by The Rt Hon Oliver Dowden CBE MP, Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, The Rt Hon Alok Sharma MP, Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy and Tim Davie CBE, Chief Executive at BBC Studios.
