The Government’s Technology Secretary, Liz Kendall, has today confirmed the widely expected (here<\/a>) decision to appoint Sir Ian Cheshire<\/a> as the next Chairman of the UK’s telecoms, internet and media regulator, Ofcom<\/a> – replacing Michael Grade (Lord Grade of Yarmouth) in the post after his 4-year term came to an end.<\/p>\n

Sir Ian is the former Chair of Channel 4 (2022 to 2025) and his career spans senior leadership roles across both the public and private sectors. Ian was also previously the CEO of Kingfisher plc and has held a number of senior non\u2011executive and advisory roles spanning business, sustainability and public policy, including as Chair of Barclays UK, Debenhams plc, Maisons du Monde and Menhaden plc.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> The Chair of Ofcom<\/a> is remunerated at \u00a3120,000 per annum for a time commitment of 3 days per week. The post is intended to run for 4 years.<\/div>\n

In April 2015, Sir Ian was appointed government Lead Non-Executive, a role he was reappointed to for a further 3 years in April 2018. That same year, he also became Lead Non-Executive Member of the Cabinet Office Board. Suffice to say that the government considers Sir Ian to be \u201cideally suited to lead Ofcom<\/a> through its next chapter<\/em>\u201c.<\/p>\n

Technology Secretary, Liz Kendall, said: <\/strong><\/p>\n

“Sir Ian brings exactly the kind of leadership experience that Ofcom needs as it enters this next critical chapter.<\/p>\n

The Online Safety Act must be enforced robustly and without compromise, and Ofcom has a central role in making the UK the safest place to be online.<\/p>\n

From protecting consumers and tackling online harms to driving growth across our communications sectors, the regulator has never had a more important role to play. I look forward to working with Sir Ian as he leads Ofcom into this next phase.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The new Chair’s greatest areas of focus are likely to be on Ofcom\u2019s ever-expanding role in the regulation of internet content, as well as the switch to IP\/Streaming based broadband TV services (i.e. moving away from terrestrial signals via the air waves), the future roll-out of 6G mobile and preparing for the next big phase of fixed line telecoms regulation in 2031 (the recent 2026 market review was more about continuity than radical change).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
