Creative Industries Federation

Creative Industries Federation is an independent representative body of the UK's public arts, cultural education bodies and creative industries companies. It exists to highlight success and press for change on policy issues. It formally launched on 24 November 2014.[1] More than 220 companies and organisations across broadcasting, film, music, publishing, architecture, fashion and the arts have signed up to be 'founder supporters',[2] though not necessarily 'members'.

Details

Creative Industries Federation was devised by designer John Sorrell.[3][2] Its director is John Kampfner.[4] Other founders include Nicholas Serota, director of Tate, Caroline Rush of the British Fashion Council, Tim Davie of the BBC, Darren Henley of Classic FM, and Amanda Nevill of the British Film Institute.[5][2]

To become a member, organisations and companies pay fees based on a sliding scale calculated by revenue, while individuals pay a flat rate.[6]
