Michael Grade CBE, Lord Grade of Yarmouth has been named as the President of the Printing Charity for 2023.
Currently Chair of OFCOM, Grade started his career as a print journalist and says he is a “great believer in the power of print as a communication channel”.
The new President first cut his tooth in the world of print in 1960 as a journalist and sports columnist at the Daily Mirror and later went on to add many strings to his bow in roles at major UK broadcasters such as controller of BBC One, Chief Executive of Channel 4, Chair of the BBC, and Executive Chair of ITV.
In addition to this, Grade has held positions of Chief Executive of First Leisure, Chair of Pinewood Studios, Chair of the Charity Fundraising Regulator, Chair of the Media Museum Bradford, and a Trustee of the Science Museum.
“I’m pleased to be involved with the Printing Charity and am looking forward to supporting their crucial work providing practical, emotional, and financial support to everyone in the print, packaging, paper, publishing, and graphic arts sectors.”
Jon Wright, Chair of the Printing Charity, adds: “We are delighted that Lord Grade has agreed to support the charity as our 2023 President and the key note speaker at our Annual Luncheon, an event now in its 194th year.
“He is the latest member of a distinguished line of past charity Presidents, including most recently George Osborne CH.”
