Southbank Centre’s former programming boss to chair Shoreditch Town Hall board

Additionally, Ace was formerly head of public programming at the Southbank Centre.

Welcoming the new recruit, Shoreditch Town Hall’s chief executive officer Julie Flavell said: "We’re thrilled that Tamsin will be our next chair. She brings a wealth of experience from her leadership roles in artistic venues, and in her current role as director of East Bank, she offers valuable local connections and insight from major organisations.

"We’d also like to sincerely thank Emma for her brilliant leadership over the past three years – expertly guiding Shoreditch Town Hall through a financial re-gear, strengthening our resilience and always offering positivity and encouragement."

Ace commented: "I’m delighted to be joining Shoreditch Town Hall as their new chair. It is an exciting time for the organisation and I feel honoured to be part of this next chapter.

"Shoreditch Town Hall is known for its programming, commitment to community and bringing people together, whether through bold work, creative partnerships or its vibrant commercial activity. I look forward to working with the board and the exceptional team as the organisation continues to thrive in its unique role as an exciting cultural and historical space."
