Nicky Morgan, the Rt Hon of the Baroness Morgan of Cotes, has been appointed as the president of the Printing Charity for 2024.
Morgan is a former Conservative MP and Minister and now a member of the House of Lords, with a career ranging across both the public and private sectors. She has served in the cabinets of both David Cameron and Boris Johnson as Minister for Women and Equalities, Education Secretary and Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Secretary.
Prior to entering politics, she also worked as a solicitor specialising in mergers and acquisitions.
Morgan said: “During my time as Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Secretary, 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.
“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.”
Neil Lovell, Printing Charity c.e.o., added: “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.”
