Michael Bichard New Design Council Chairman

Michael Bichard: New Design Council Chairman

Michael Bichard was today appointed as the new Chairman of the Design Council.

Sir Michael succeeds Sir George Cox and will take up his post in January 2008.

The Design Council is the national strategic body for design.

It promotes the use of design throughout the UK's businesses and public services.

Through their work they demonstrate that design can play a vital role in strengthening our economy and improving our society.

Announcing the appointment John Denham, Secretary of State for Innovation, Universities and Skills said: "I am thrilled that Sir Michael Bichard has agreed to take on this important role at a time when design is acknowledged as central to international business competitiveness, innovation performance and wider social well-being.

As a public figure with a world-wide reputation in the fields of education, government and the creative arts, Sir Michael is well placed to tackle the important agenda the Design Council seeks to address.

I would also like to pay tribute to Sir George Cox, whose leadership of the Design Council has been exemplary.

His proposals to the Treasury marked a watershed in design and innovation policy resulting in a powerful programme of measures being implemented nationally.

These include the Design Council's business programme for SME's and new multidisciplinary university centres where design, technology and business are brought closer together."
