12 May 2025

The UK Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, Lisa Nandy MP, has confirmed Delyth Evans as the new Chair of S4C.

Delyth started in the role on May 1, 2025, taking over from Guto Bebb.

The confirmation comes after Delyth appeared before the Welsh Affairs Committee for a pre-appointment hearing on April 23.

The UK Government's Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) has also announced the appointment of five new members to the Board of S4C Dr Gwenllian Lansdown Davies, Dyfrig Davies, Wyn Innes, Betsan Powys and Catryn Ramasut.

Geraint Evans, Chief Executive of S4C, said:

"We are delighted that Delyth Evans has joined S4C as our new Chair. Delyth brings a wealth of leadership and governance experience as well as a passion for seeing the Welsh language flourish in every corner the country. She also appreciates the importance of the production sector to the channel and to the Welsh economy.

"I, along with the rest of the S4C team, am eagerly looking forward to working with Delyth as we begin a new chapter in our history.

"I would also like to welcome the new members of the Board. Their contribution and diverse experiences will certainly be of great value to us as we face the challenges and opportunities of the new broadcasting era.

"We are also very grateful to Guto Bebb for his extraordinary dedication over the past year as our interim Chairman – he has brought stability and wisdom to the role.

"While welcoming new members, including a second term for Denise Lewis Poulton, I would also like to thank Chris Jones and Adele Gritten for their contribution to S4C at the end of their term as Board members. "
