Previous roles have included Media Director at Golley Slater where she and her team worked on the Keep Wales Safe Campaign delivering the vital messaging throughout lockdown. Amelia commenting on her new position:

“I am absolutely delighted to be joining Four Cymru as their next Managing Director and continuing to build upon the amazing work that the team here in Wales has done. I am passionate about delivering effective campaigns that make a difference to the audiences they are reaching out to and Four have an excellent track record at delivering these campaigns.”
