Not-for-profit Creative UK Group teamed with research firm Oxford Economics to assess the screen sector’s contribution to the British economy. They concluded that film and TV’s £21.6 billion gross value added in 2019 fell by £2.6B , or 12%, last year amid the coronavirus crisis.
Furthermore, Creative UK Group’s report said 5% of the 239,000 people employed by the film and TV industry lost their jobs in 2020. That equates to 12,800 jobs being wiped out. Creative UK Group said it could have been worse without government interventions such as the Production Restart Scheme, which provided an insurance safety net for productions and protected 44,000 jobs.
Creative UK Group said Britain’s creative industries combined lost £12B in gross value added, while one in 20 people lost their job during the pandemic.Caroline Norbury, CEO of Creative UK Group, said: “Many creative businesses have faced crippling hardships during the past year, and we are still seeing too many talented individuals leave the sector as job losses continue.
