Theatre producer Richard Jordan has been named as one of the UK’s young business leaders.

Jordan, who as well as working as a producer, is a regular columnist for The Stage, has been named in this year’s edition of the Who’s Who Britain’s Business Elite - Britain’s Young Business Leaders edition. He is the only UK commercial theatre producer to be named in the publication, which features business leaders from all industry sectors under the age of 35.

Jordan commented: “2008 is my tenth year as a theatre producer and I am enormously flattered to be recognised by Who’s Who for my work. I am equally grateful, in this business, to have survived as a commercial producer for ten years without going bankrupt.”

As well as running Richard Jordan Productions, Jordan is the creative director of Theatre Royal Haymarket Productions, an associate artist at the Bush Theatre, a UK associate of New York’s Primary Stages and creative consultant for Teatros Artes, Brazil’s largest chain of independently owned theatres.
