In Britain we have many things of which we can be justly proud but right at the top of the list are the creative industries. They make the country a better place, bringing joy and personal fulfilment. They build better communities. They deliver money and jobs.

The world recognises and respects the leadership position of our creative industries and other countries want to emulate our success. Yet in the past, the sector struggled to be seen as a whole and to show itself as indispensable, economically, culturally and socially. That is why, nearly a decade ago, I began the drive to create the Federation.

There is no other country that has an organisation with the diversity and quality of members we enjoy across all the arts, creative industries and cultural education. But the Federation is even greater than the sum of its parts, giving our creative community influence way beyond that achievable by any particular discipline acting alone. It opens doors, politically, and is what I always hoped it would be – an independent voice that is fearless, independent and realistic.

As I prepare to step down as Federation chair in 2017, I feel proud of the rate of progress which is far greater than I ever anticipated. I want to thank the original group of founders, the members of our board and our UK and international councils, as well as our brilliant chief executive, John Kampfner, and his extraordinary team. But most of all I want to thank our members who have joined together to create an inspirational movement which is unique in the world.

Now and in the coming years, the work of the Creative Industries Federation will be vital for the sake of the sector itself and for the benefit of Britain.

If 2016 turned so many assumptions upside down, there is every reason to expect 2017 to be at least as turbulent.

The Creative Industries Federation is up for the challenge. Indeed our founders might wryly suggest that we were created for challenges such as these. We are the UK’s, indeed the world’s, first independent and professional fighting force for our fantastic creative sector.

It seems hard to imagine that the Federation has been around for only two years, such has been the response and such has been the pace of change. With each year, as we grow, so our work accelerates.

We are now dealing actively with eight government departments and with all the nations and regions on behalf of our 1,000-plus members – companies, arts organisations, universities, trade bodies and individual practitioners and supporters. We are completely independent and act with considerable freedom. We are authoritative, fearless and pragmatic – but always optimistic.

Our events and activities are listed in more detail elsewhere but here’s a flavour. We have hosted a plethora of politicians, including the first “meet the sector” gathering for the incoming digital and culture minister, Matt Hancock, as well as a reception with the Edinburgh International Festival, a session at London Tech Week, a rural small business event in Cornwall and a debate at the International Festival for Business in Liverpool. We looked at local government and the arts in Cardiff, took part in a festival on future thinking in Budapest and worked with the Association of British Orchestras in Birmingham. We returned to cities such as Bristol to develop links forged in 2015 and in December, we held a very successful first meeting (not before time) in Northern Ireland, completing the circle of the nations and regions.

Our carefully curated Unique Breakfasts were much sought after, examining issues from the future of TV regulation to the role of women in public life and policy parallels between our sector and engineering to the question of culture and national identity. Our first Unique Conversation event, with the ever-provocative Grayson Perry in discussion with Brett Rogers from The Photographers’ Gallery, was the resounding start to a series designed to bring our unique network of members together and inspire them in a more sociable evening setting.

Wherever we host events, I always like to exhort our audiences not to talk to people they know and I unashamedly encourage members to “do deals”. I love it when you can see unexpected relationships being forged and new commercial and creative collaborations beginning, between fashion houses and theatres, advertising and galleries, creative tech and TV, industry veterans and the hottest young talent – improving the bottom line, kickstarting new creative projects. In 2017, that task will become possible online, as we unveil a new website with a members-only noticeboard.

The unique network is a benefit in itself but also the source of our knowledge and authority, feeding our reports, papers and submissions on issues from regeneration to higher education regulation. Our members feed into our work via our board, UK council and the nascent international council that, by chance, we launched the same hour that the new prime minister was taking office. We also have dedicated working groups: finance is getting underway on issues from philanthropy to new routes to finance while education already has more than 120 members and great momentum.

We believe the more involved a company or organisation is the more it reaps the commercial and other benefits of working with us. The contribution from so many of our members has been fabulous this

past year. We pay tribute to the strong involvement of our 2016 corporate patrons – Google, Bloomberg, PwC, Barclays and Mishcon de Reya – and are proud to be developing strong relationships with trade bodies, hubs and other partners.

More people are joining, but we are pleased, too, that our early members have seen the benefit and are renewing at a rate of more than 90 per cent. But we are not remotely complacent. We know that in straitened times, with economic and political uncertainty, every penny spent must be accounted for. We are constantly seeking to demonstrate that the Federation bolsters members’ long-term growth and success.

So the picture is positive, with one major caveat. The work this year has been set against the backdrop of unprecedented political challenges almost no one expected. Brexit dominated 2016.

We convened a major debate on the EU at the British Library to hear arguments from both sides and, even before the referendum date was set, began a detailed members’ survey. The results of our Fed poll were clear – 96% of members favoured staying in.

However, when the country’s verdict was announced in June, “no lament” was the watchword. We lost no time in starting work on charting the future, looking at movement of people, access to the single market, EU funding and implications for intellectual property rights and copyright protection.

We followed our initial meeting of chief executives, directors and individual practitioners at King’s College London with 10 events from Swansea to Edinburgh, Manchester to Plymouth, Gateshead to Norwich. More than 500 organisations participated in the work that became the Brexit Report presented to ministers in October. It is available on our website for wider advocacy. What we uncovered around the country also reinforced our other policy work on education, skills and access, finance and funding, infrastructure and content, and the quest to enhance the global competitiveness of all our creative disciplines.

The decision to leave the European Union has posed new questions about the role of so-called elites, the relationship between the liberal arts and the general population and the apparent gulf between

metropolitan and non-metropolitan mind-sets. The election of Donald Trump as president in November demonstrated that these fractures are perhaps even greater in the United States. More of the same may be on its way in elections in continental Europe and elsewhere in ensuing months. The assumptions that many held about globalisation and internationalism have been shaken to the core.

So where does that leave the creative industries? At a time of uncertainty, it bears proclaiming even more loudly than before that this is the fastest-growing sector in Britain; this is the calling card of the nation. Whenever UK politicians travel internationally, people want to talk about our world-beating film, television, museums and galleries, music, heritage, video games, design, fashion, creative tech, architecture and more. Our success stands the equal of that in UK science and engineering, with many of the same policy challenges. And the link between creativity and technology has never been more important. They are interdependent.

There are huge opportunities if the creative industries seize the moment to get action on issues of vital importance for future success, such as education and skills, and if political leaders get their response right. We will continue to work with government to place the creative industries at the heart of its thinking, on the industrial strategy and more. The creative industries can be part of the solution in tackling the tensions exposed by the EU vote and building the social cohesion that Theresa May identified as one of her top priorities when she became prime minister last July. And the sector can help forge a new international identity for the UK, alongside a different, but still open, relationship with Europe. That is why I was delighted to join the delegations in Delhi when the prime minister visited in October and in Shanghai with the culture secretary Karen Bradley in November.

A heartfelt thanks from me to all of you for your ongoing support and your enthusiastic cooperation in helping ensure that the creative industries, the powerhouse of the UK, finally has a single, galvanising voice. The sector now has the heft it has long deserved. Here’s to year three.
