Valeria Bullo chairs, with six other production experts making up the committee.

The Production Guild of Great Britain (PGGB) has announced members of its new Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Committee, with Valeria Bullo as chair.

Bullo is an experienced production wellbeing and inclusion consultant, and is joined by vice chairs, line producers Benjamin Greenacre and Georgette Turner. Producer Andy Noble, line producer Cyrus Patel, 1st AD Ben Hughes and Universal International Studios VP production Laura Burrows complete the committee.

Commenting, Lyndsay Duthie, CEO PGGB, said: “Improving diversity and inclusion in the film and TV workforce must underpin all that we do. This new EDI committee brings together respected voices from across the production landscape. I know they will help us move forward with initiatives that will break down barriers and create pathways for under-represented talent to improve the industry for current and future generations.”

Bullo, who recently received the Diversity and Inclusion Champion accolade at the biennial PGGB Awards, added: “I am passionate about improving the ways we work in production across film and TV. I believe that meaningful change is essential for creating an industry where everyone feels valued and represented.

“Being part of this committee will allow me to collaborate with like-minded peers who share the same commitment to fostering positive change within the PGGB Membership and beyond. Together, we can drive initiatives that not only enhance our industry’s culture but also open doors for new voices and perspectives, ensuring that we make a lasting and tangible impact.”

The EDI Committee will build on the work of PGGB initiatives including the annual Talent Showcase, the centrepiece of which is the presentation of The Duke of Edinburgh Film & TV Inclusion Award, which celebrates organisations that progress inclusion in the UK’s production workforce. Million Youth Media received the 2024 award in February of this year; the next Talent Showcase is scheduled to take place in March 2025.
