PRS for Music confirms the appointment of its new Public Affairs Manager, John Mottram.
The organisation that represents some 95,000 songwriters, composers and publishers has confirmed the appointment of its new Public Affairs Manager, John Mottram.
John Mottram was previously Head of International Broadcasting and Radio at the Department of Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) leading the Government’s media objectives and closely working with senior officials across Whitehall and in Europe on policy for media industries.
Mottram played a fundamental role in the development and implementation of economic policies, through the Digital Britain Review and Digital Economy Act 2010, to support the UK communications and content industries.
John has long experience and expertise in government and policymaking and will be bringing to the role valuable insight and lobbying capability which is crucial right now. His understanding of the regulatory environment and the businesses that PRS for Music license is an immense asset. We are delighted to welcome John to the PRS for Music team.
