Indielab appoints new team members to boot the UK’s content sector

UK’s accelerator company Indielab announces five new appointments to its evolving team. Kate Moore has joined the team as executive producer and is project lead on the GrowthLab event, including curating its sessions. As part of the senior management team, she also works closely with CEO Victoria Powell on business development and fundraising for Indielab’s programmes.

Nicola Hewitt joins as Indielab’s first business and operations manager. Also a member of the senior management team, she is responsible for finances, HR, legal, policies, IT, health and safety and budgeting.

Rebecca Thomson Foley joins the team in January as programme manager/producer, primarily responsible for the editorial design and delivery of Indielab’s programmes. Rebecca brings with her significant experience in producing and managing events all over the world.

Ashe Hussain will be providing essential policy advice as Indielab’s new inclusion executive. Ashe has had an extensive career in the television and film industry, focusing on business development for production companies, diversity, talent development and training.
Klaudia Lita joins as programme co-ordinator, supporting the co-ordination and delivery of all Indielab events and programmes from conception to completion.

This news comes ahead of a busy 2023, which will not only see Indielab look to expand its highly regarded programme of national and regional Accelerators and Export Labs for TV, games, film, and animation companies, but also launch its first GrowthLab, a new-style event for founders and leaders of independent production companies. GrowthLab, to be held in London on 9th February, will platform the very latest industry thinking, invite discussion and provide useful advice on creating and sustaining growth paths in challenging times.

Victoria Powell, Indielab’s CEO says: “At such a challenging time for recruitment, I am thrilled to have attracted such a wealth of exciting talent to the Indielab team. Between them, these new recruits bring a range of valuable experience in producing and delivering events, business development and management – from both within the content sector and the wider commercial world. This ensures that we will be well-placed to deliver on our own growth plans in 2023, as well as support an increasing number of content creators with theirs. We may all be operating in challenging times, but there is still plenty of opportunity for TV and games companies to thrive and grow. Our expanded team will ensure we can help even more companies find the right growth path for them next year, as well as continually look to innovate our offer with new programmes and events such as GrowthLab.”
