Venu Dhupa, the director of creative development at the body, last night announced her resignation, only two weeks after chief executive, Andrew Dixon, also quit.
Ms Dhupa, regarded as one of the key figures at the body which has endured a disastrous and controversial year, will leave next February with a £17,500 payoff – three months of her £70,000 salary.
