Attracting and sustaining the screen industry workforce in Yorkshire and the Humber

Hughes, Ellen; Webber, Don. J.

Abstract

A key resource to any creative industry is their workforce, and this is
particularly true for the screen industry. Although the central importance of this workforce is widely acknowledged, comparatively little is known about the mobility and embeddedness of these workers in and across firms and in and across regions. This is of crucial importance to investors too, because it is the screen workers who ensure that returns to investments in screen industry capital equipment are realised, and it is their imagination and dexterity in creating captivating TV or film programmes that lead to the
exports of visual representations of our cultural heritage, which in turn earns revenues for our economy and enables it to grow.
