PGGB's New CEO Kaye Elliott Confirms New Board Members

Following last night’s PGGB AGM, PGGB’s new CEO, Kaye Elliott, has announced that Bianca Gavin, Head of Production, Scripted for Pulse Films, has been re-elected to the board for another four-year term, continuing also as PGGB Chair. Elliott also confirmed that producer Brian Donovan will once again take a seat on the board following his previous four-year tenure, and Bertie Spiegelberg, Manager, Physical Production (UK & European Studio Film), Netflix, has been newly elected to join the PGGB Board.

Addressing PGGB Members in her first public engagement as PGGB CEO, Elliott said, “We absolutely know that continuing to provide a platform for our members and partners to meet, learn, share experiences and knowledge, question, guide and support each other is at the very heart of what you want. In this new role at the helm of PGGB, I can assure you that we can and will continue to deliver that for you, with a refreshed vision.”

Elliott acknowledged that despite the challenges PGGB and the industry as a whole have faced over the last year because of a slower than anticipated green light on productions of scale, and uncertainty around budget levels, the industry is seeing a renewed pick-up in the pace of UK filming and reassured PGGB Members that “there is renewed optimism ahead.”

Kaye Elliott took up her role as PGGB CEO on 16th July 2025. Elliott joined PGGB from ScreenSkills, where she was Director of High-End Television (HETV), setting the strategy and overseeing all aspects of HETV industry investment in skills support for UK freelancers and production companies.

PGGB’s Executive Committee is made up of Bianca Gavin, Vice Chairs Debbie Vertue and John Graydon and Treasurer, Lara Sargent.
