The Production Guild of Great Britain (PGGB) has named its next boss.
Kaye Elliott joins from ScreenSkills where she was director of high-end TV (HETV), setting the strategy and overseeing all aspects of HETV industry investment in skills support for UK freelancers and production companies.
She will join in July, replacing Lyndsay Duthie, who stepped down in Jan. During a lengthy tenure with training body ScreenSkills, Elliott led an HETV council and developed deep networks with broadcasters, indies and streamers. Past employers include Creative England and Screen Yorkshire.
She joins the PGGB with plenty on her plate, amid a scripted funding crisis and with two-thirds of freelancers struggling for work, according to ScreenSkills research from earlier this week.
PGGB Chair Bianca Gavin said Elliott’s “exceptional leadership, vision, and industry insight make her the perfect fit for this role.” “Kaye’s strong commitment to championing UK industry talent aligns perfectly with our mission and ethos, and we are excited for her to lead the organisation into the future,” she added.
Elliott said: “This next chapter will be shaped by their insight and ambition. I’m excited and committed to bring my passion for the industry and work with the team and the Board to build on the Guild’s strong foundations to grow and strategically support its members, influence policy, and ultimately strengthen the UK’s global production leadership.”
