Guy Vaughan Black, Baron Black of Brentwood (born 1964, Chelmsford, Essex) is Executive Director of the Telegraph Media Group and a Conservative Life Peer.
He went to Brentwood school, studied history at Cambridge and worked for the Conservative Research Department and later the Press Complaints Commission, and joined the Telegraoph Media group in 1995. In 22010 he was appointed a life peer.
On 11 February 2006, he entered a civil partnership with his long-term partner Mark Bolland. Many leading media and political figures attended the ceremony and Murdoch MacLennan and Rebekah Brooks were witnesses.[1]
He was ranked number 63 in the Pink List 2011 and 54 in the Pink List 2012. The Pink List 2012 citation said:
- "The executive director of Telegraph Media group and chairman of Pressbof, which funds the Press Complaints Commission, is a key figure in the media response to the Leveson report, due within weeks. Given a peerage by David Cameron, he is the first openly gay Tory peer."
