Amanda Nevill

Chief Executive

Educated in Yorkshire, England and Paris, Amanda Nevill set up the first British contemporary art fair in Bath in 1980. She joined The Royal Photographic Society in 1985, was responsible for the public face of the Society, its archives and the Commerical Centre in Bath, becoming CEO in 1990 - the first woman CEO in the Society’s history.

She moved to the National Museum of Photography, Film & Television in Bradford in Spring 1994 as Head of Museum and on the Executive Board of the National Museum of Science & Industry. During the next nine years the Museum re-invented itself with a £16 million re-development fulfilling an ambitious vision taking it into the new digital era. The museum welcomed over one million visitors in 2000 and won a raft of national and international awards for design, content, innovation and excellence.

She joined the BFI in June 2003 as Director.
