Leading UK music industry bodies pledge gender equality on boards

A series of major UK music industry organisations have committed to gender equality on their boards.

These include PRS for Music, which handles royalties and licensing for UK artists, as well as the Incorporated Society of Musicians, the Featured Artist Coalition, the Association of Independent Music, the Music Managers Forum and the Music Publishers Association. The bodies will ensure at least 50% representation of women and “under-represented genders”.

Andrea Martin, chief executive of PRS for Music, said: “We look to reflect the broad diversity of our members at every level, and we are committed to investing in meaningful and long-lasting change.”
