The UK’s Film and TV industry is valued by the UK Government, and UKEVENTS Chair, Chris Skeith, suggests the country could benefit if similar incentives were offered to the events sector.

UKEVENTS, the umbrella organisation for the events industry, has confirmed the British Air Display Association (BADA) as its newest partner.

A recorded 4.9 million people attended air displays across the UK in 2019, generating over £120 million in direct spend for the UK economy and for charities.

UKEVENTS has confirmed members of its newly elected Executive Committee.

Nick Morgan, Commercial Opportunities lead and Chair of the Outdoor Events Working Group, has been re-elected, while Glenn Bowdin has been elected as Vice Chair and Treasurer.
