The Printing Charity, an organisation which supports individuals and companies within the print industry through various forms of support, has announced Nicky Morgan as its 2024 president.
Nicky Morgan, the Rt Hon the Baroness Morgan of Cotes, accepted the charity’s invitation to hold the office of president for 2024 due to her connection to the industry after her time as Digital, Culture, Media, and Sport Secretary.
Morgan comments: “During my time [in her role] I saw first-hand how print, publishing, and graphic arts, and the trades allied to them, such as packaging and paper, continue to shape and define UK culture.”
Serving in the Cabinets of former prime ministers David Cameron and Boris Johnson, Morgan was the Member of Parliament for Loughborough between 2010 and 2019 and also served as Minister for Women & Equalities and Education Secretary.
Neil Lovell, chief executive officer for the Printing Charity, says: “It is great news for the charity that Baroness Morgan has agreed to support us in this important role, as our president and as the 2024 keynote speaker at our Annual Luncheon in November. She joins an illustrious group of charity presidents, most recently Michael, Lord Grade of Yarmouth CBE, in 2023.”
Speaking about her decision to accept the role, Morgan adds: “The importance of these industries to our economy as well as our society cannot be understated, so I am delighted to be involved with the Printing Charity, whose work provides crucial practical, emotional, and financial support to people working in these sectors, whose skills are what drive success, and continued innovation, within them.”
Morgan is now a member of the House of Lords and carries with her experience within both the private and public sectors, including a career as a solicitor specialising in mergers and acquisitions.
