The Farmers' Union of Wales has appointed a multi-media journalism graduate of Bournemouth University as its press officer.
Anne Birkett, former student of Aberaeron Comprehensive School and Aberystwyth's Coleg Ceredigion, lives at Bwlchllan, near Lampeter. In her last job she was responsible for organising events with a film production company in Poole, Dorset.
"Having made the decision to move back to Wales to be closer to my family, who all live and work in Ceredigion, I am very excited to take on the new challenge of press officer for the FUW," she said today.
FUW director of public relations Peter Roberts said he was looking forward to working with Anne who has experience of print, broadcast and online media.
"Having worked in the newsroom of the Daily Echo in Bournemouth and for Heart FM radio, I am pleased that she has a strong knowledge of the media," he added.
