Meet the PCC Chairman
Baroness Buscombe became Chairman of the PCC in April this year, having previously been Chief Executive of the Advertising Association. In this short interview, she explains why she took up the role, her first impressions of the PCC, and her views on the main challenges currently facing the organisation.
