## Summary

Guy Moot, chair and CEO of Warner Chappell Music, has become the first music publisher to receive the Music Industry Trusts Award. Presented by musician Mark Ronson at a London ceremony, the annual honour recognises significant contributions to the UK music industry.

Moot’s career spans more than 30 years, and he has championed songwriters at Warner Chappell, where he became sole chair and CEO earlier this year. The ceremony raised money for The BRIT Trust and music therapy charity Nordoff and Robbins; since its establishment in 1992, the award has raised more than £7 million for its beneficiary charities. Past recipients include Annie Lennox, Elton John and Bernie Taupin, and last year’s winner was Ashley Tabor-King.
