LONDON (CelebrityAccess) – PRS for Music has appointed Stevie Spring as the new Chair of the Board for the British Music Rights Society. Spring will take the helm from Stephen Davidson, who has held the role since 2014. Davidson will be formally stepping down after three terms.
Originally a lawyer, Spring brings Board chairing experience across public, private, charity, government, and membership organizations. She has served as the Executive Chair of the UK’s Global Cultural Organization, The British Council, and is currently Chair of the Mental Health Charity Mind.
In addition, she served on the Pladis EDI Board, is an Independent Non-Executive Director for the Co-op Group, and is an investor/director for two tech scale-up companies.
Previously, she spent 35 years in the creative industries, including CEO roles at two media groups – ClearChannel and Future PLC.
“I love working with creative people, and I love music. Andrea’s vision is progressive and ambitious; I’m very excited to join the PRS for Music Board at a time of such challenge and opportunity,” said Spring.
Andrea Czapary Martin, CEO of PRS for Music, said, “Stevie’s appointment reflects our ambition to maximize the value of the rights we represent and deliver world-class services for members and customers. She brings a wealth of experience and knowledge, with a career as CEO and Chair that spans global companies, small start-ups, and charities. As we enter our 110th year, I look forward to working closely with Stevie to shape the next chapter of PRS for Music.
“I am grateful to Stephen for his invaluable and studious advice, guiding us through some of the most precarious and prosperous years the music industry has faced. His support and counsel helped shape PRS for Music into the high-achieving global business it is today.”
