UK Screen Association, the trade body that represents the TV and Film services market, has published the names of the candidates that will stand in this year's Board Elections.

Eleven managers and executives are hoping to get enough votes to take their place on the board from September.

The full list is:

  • Dennis Weinreich, managing director of group post-production, the Pinewood Group

"The broadcast and film industry is changing and changing fast,” said UK Screen chief executive Gaynor Davenport. “To stay relevant and be successful we must continue to have strong strategic leadership at the very heart of the association. We are extremely fortunate to have such an impressive group of candidates standing for election this year"

The six new directors will join the eight directors remaining in situ. These are: Paul Bennett (ITV Productions), Joce Capper (Rushes), Julian Day (DGP), Ivan Dunleavy (The Pinewood Group), Mark Foligno (Molinare), Alex Hope (Double Negative), Bryn Roberts (Barcud Derwen) and Steve Smith (Panalux).

Mike Luckwell continues in the role of chairman and Gaynor Davenport remains as chief executive.

The new board will have the right to co-opt further directors to meet any shortfall in representation.
