The Creative Sector: a UK success story under threat

The UK is a world leader in the creative industries.

It is one of few sectors promising high growth and significant productivity gains. This makes the lack of attention to the creative sector in the TCA and wider UK- EU relationship a source of major concern.

The challenges outlined in this report mean that jobs will be lost in the immediate term, with more likely to follow over time as new talent becomes disenfranchised. Not only will this have a negative economic outcome, it may mean fewer ground breaking companies and artists in future.

This report highlights challenges faced by the sector now which have been created by the TCA and Protocol as they stand. It suggests changes to the deals which, if implemented, would help the sector both thrive and survive.
