He remains a director of the Beggars Group (1991–present day) as well as running Beggars Music, the group's publishing wing. He is also a director of IMPEL.

Heath served on the Council of the Music Publishers Association (1989-2008 and President from 1993–97) and served on the boards of the Performing Right Society and the Mechanical-Copyright Protection Society. In January 2008, he was appointed Chairman of British Music Rights. When BMR was subsumed into UK Music in September 2008, Heath became chairman of the new organisation.

Heath was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2009 New Year Honours for services to music publishing and Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2019 Birthday Honours for services to music.
