He has also worked as a freelance producer, most recently on the production of Entertaining Mr Sloane with Imelda Staunton and Matthew Horne in the West End. Lynch is also a trustee of Fevered Sleep, whose production of The Weather Factory was commissioned by National Theatre Wales as part of its inaugural season in which it created a “theatre map” of Wales, and is a board member of The Pacitti Company and the Spill Festival of Performance. Mark Taylor, Wales Millennium Centre’s Chief Executive, said, "As we have already set out in our Artistic Strategy for the next five years, we need to cement our reputation as a catalyst in the performing arts. To do so, we need to build credibility as a commissioner and producer of new work. To attract someone of Conrad Lynch’s reputation will undoubtedly enable us to achieve this." Conrad Lynch added, "I’m delighted to be joining Wales Millennium Centre at this exciting time and look forward to working with Mark Taylor and the team to continue to develop the Centre’s work in Cardiff and beyond."
