Matthew Littleford

I have been Chair of The Reading Agency's board since January 2018. I was formerly Joint Managing Director of betty, one of the UK's leading TV production companies where I was responsible for running the business, editorial strategy, people and culture, business affairs and production management.
Prior to working at betty, I was the Editorial Director for Digital at BBC Worldwide, leading, creating and delivering the editorial proposition across their portfolio of brands and platforms; the Controller of UKTV, where I was in charge of the editorial, creative and brand leadership, and oversaw the re-branding of the business. I also worked as the Controller of Entertainment for ITV's digital channels, where I filmed Katie Price and Peter Andre's wedding, went Ghosthunting With Girls Aloud and had fun with the Best of Royal Variety.
I am also a trustee for Frantic Assembly and Plaines Plough, two of the country's leading theatre companies.
