International theatre company Cheek By Jowl has appointed AJAY CHOWDHURY and CATRIN GRIFFITHS to its board of directors.

Chowdhury has a history in tech entrepreneurialism as a Founder, Chair or CEO of companies like Shazam, Seatwave and LineOne. He has also served on the board of Arts Council London, DCMS, Index on Censorship and Historic Royal Palaces.

The Sunday Times recently selected him as one of the top 100 Black, Asian and ethnic minority business leaders in the UK.

Griffiths is Editor of trade publication The Lawyer. She is a trustee of Orchestras Live, Jerwood Arts and Papergang Theatre. As a Welsh speaker, she takes a strong interest in minority languages and access to the arts, Cheek By Jowl says.

The appointments come ahead of the theatre's 40th anniversary.
