“In the next year, I think more productions will start up, more productions will come to the UK, because it’s the best place in the world to make films and TV shows.
“That said, we have to continue to nurture the next generation of people coming into the industry. We need education and training programmes, and we need people who are already in the industry to mentor, support and train young people. It is important that our sets reflect the society in which we live. If we can do that, the future will truly be bright.”
