Touring theatre company Paines Plough has announced JODIE GILLIAM as its new Executive Director.

Gilliam has worked in the arts for more than 10 years and joins Paines Plough from Shubbak, where she was Head of Finance and Operations.

She says she looks forward to supporting the existing team, which includes joint Artistic Directors CHARLOTTE BENNETT and KATIE POSNER, to support the organisation’s mission of bringing bold and inclusive work to communities across the UK.

“I believe strongly in the importance of new writing and nurturing a range of writing voices, so I am excited to be joining Paines Plough which does this so well,” Gilliam said.

Bennett and Posner welcomed Gilliam to the team: “Her passion for platforming new writing and championing diversity in the theatre is a perfect match for us, and we’re excited for her to join us in shaping Paines Plough’s vision for the coming years.”
