New Year, Fresh Start? Well Prime Minister Theresa May certainly thinks so as she kicks off 2018 with a cabinet reshuffle.
The latest reshuffle, which took place yesterday, sees Matt Hancock named the new culture secretary replacing Karen Bradley in the cabinet.
Hancock, who was already a junior minister in the department, has been promoted to the cabinet. His promotion follows Karen Bradley’s appointment as the new Northern Ireland secretary.
On the appointment of Rt Hon Matt Hancock MP as Secretary of State for Digital, Media, Culture & Sport, Advertising Association Chief Executive Stephen Woodford commented:
“The Advertising Association warmly welcomes the appointment of Matt Hancock as Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport and we congratulate him on his new role.
“Matt is an enthusiastic and engaged supporter of the creative industries and has a keen awareness of advertising’s vital importance to the UK economy and the global lead the UK enjoys. We look forward to working with Matt as Secretary of State for the continued success of our industry and the wider UK creative sector.”
