Shandwick founder and Huntsworth chief Peter Chadlington, has been named chairman of LAPADA, the U.K.'s biggest association of art and antiques dealers.
He takes over for Earl Howe, who stepped down in June to become a Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Health in the new coalition government. Chadlington is a big contributor to David Cameron's Conservative Party.
Chadlington, a life peer since 1996, is a member of the Arts Council, chairman of the Royal Opera House, and was first chairman of the Lottery Distribution are of the Arts Council of England.
LAPADA will wrap up Nov. 30 First National Antiques Week, which carries an "antiques are green" theme promoting the recycling aspect of antiques.
