Tim Richards, CEO and founder of exhibition chain Vue, has been appointed the next Chair of the British Film Institute.
Richards will take over the role from interim Chair and BFI Governor Pat Butler. The public appointment was made by the Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden.
Richards will take up the position from Tuesday 16 February and will serve a term of up to three years.
Since Richards founded Vue International in 1999, the cinema operator has expanded to 225 multiplex cinemas across Europe and Taiwan. He joined the BFI as a Governor in 2013 and has held positions on many industry boards since 2007.
Former Warner Bros exec Josh Berger stepped down from the BFI Chair role last year after serving a maximum ten-year term as governor and Chair.
Dowden, Culture Secretary, said: “The BFI showcases the great creativity and innovation of the UK’s hugely successful screen sectors, which are already bouncing back strongly.
