The Creative Industries Federation (2014-2021) was a national organisation for all the UK's creative industries, cultural education and arts. It advocated for the sector, aiming to ensure that the creative industries were central to political, economic and social decision-making.
Through this advocacy and by leveraging the combined influence of its 1,000+ members across all creative sectors, the Federation further sought to secure the investment required to retain the creative industries' position as the fastest growing sector of the UK economy,[1][2] as of 2017 worth £91.8bn in Gross Value Added to the UK.[3]
On 24 November 2021, Creative Industries Federation and Creative England combined forces under the newly formed Creative UK.[4]
