SUSIE WARRAN-SMITH is the new chair of Creative United.

An experienced entrepreneur and non-executive director, Warran-Smith founded and scaled her own company before selling it in 2020.

Warran-Smith also serves as Deputy Lieutenant of Kent and was awarded a CBE for services to enterprise in 2022.

She will lead seven other board members at Creative United, a nonprofit organisation that works to support the arts, cultural, and creative industries through business growth programmes and membership schemes.
