Andy Wright

Andy has been part of the Certification Unit at the BFI since 2013 when the television tax credits were first introduced, working as the analyst for the animation and high-end TV sectors. From 2022-24, he was Project Manager for the largest strand of a BFI led major archiving project which successfully digitised and preserved over 100,000 of the most at-risk items on videotape formats from collections across 13 regional and national archives across the UK.

Andy now heads the television team within the Certification Unit which provides guidance on the tax credits for television and assesses all animation, children’s TV and high-end TV programme applications under the Cultural Tests and official co-productions. He works closely with key stakeholders in Government and industry, as well as speaking at events to give guidance on the criteria and application process.
