Lindsey Hall MBE
Chief Executive at Real Ideas
<p>Lindsey’s track record in the public and private sectors as a social entrepreneur, thinker and leader has seen her set up and develop products and services across the creative, learning and education sectors.</p>
<p>From building award-winning programmes in the UK to driving ground-breaking initiatives internationally, Lindsey has the experience and skills at management, board and executive level to steer social business ideas towards success; making money and making a difference at the same time.</p>
<p>Rooted in the creative industries, she has repeatedly worked at the intersection of creative technologies and social issues. From the early days, experimenting with interactive video to support people with diabetes, to developing a young people led, online content platform Chew TV – it was overtaken by the advent of Facebook – Lindsey has continually championed democratising emerging technologies.</p>
<p>More recently, this has included strategic leadership of the highly successful Illuminate Light Festival; setting up a world leading 360 immersive dome at the Market Hall; and being a founder member of the Far SW Immersive Cluster.</p>
<p>Lindsey Hall was awarded an MBE in 2023 for services to social enterprise and to the community in Cornwall and Plymouth.</p>
