PRS for Music has announced the appointment of two new external directors to its Executive Board.
Lord Michael Grade and Paul Mitchell will replace Wanda Goldwag and Estelle Morris, who stood down at the PRS for Music AGM at the end of their term earlier in the year.
The former sits in the House of Lords as a Conservative Peer and enjoyed programme content and managerial roles in ITV, Channel 4 and the BBC.
Paul Mitchell spent his entire career in copyright, publishing and commercial law. He was chair of the British Copyright Council for eight years and has been a trustee of the Copyright Society of the USA.
He was also a director of the Rambert Dance Company, and is currently a director of the Dancers Career Development society.
Stephen Davidson, Executive Board chair, said: ‘The appointment of two highly experienced Directors with such strong links to the copyright environment is a genuine delight. The music industry is experiencing unprecedented change.
‘I welcome the counsel of Lord Michael Grade and Paul Mitchell and the insight they will contribute to the business so we can drive PRS forward in this fast paced digital economy.’
