The newest trustee recruit to the PRS Fund committee, Paulette Long, was in the Queen’s New Year Honours list, receiving an OBE for her services to the music industry.

As well as her Fund work, Paulette is also on the PRS Board, is vice-chair of the PRS for Music Foundation and a director of the Alliance For Diversity In Music and Media.

John Logan, Fund General Secretary, congratulated Paulette: “I am quite sure that the announcement of your honour will bring much pleasure to your colleagues at Westbury Music, and others well known to you in the arts, education and charity sectors.”

Alongside Paulette in the list were David Joseph, chair and CEO of Universal Music UK and Ireland (CBE), Damon Albarn (OBE), and Goldie (MBE).
