“I am looking forward to working with the company engaging with the local communities and visiting artists with our outstanding natural heritage assets. I want everyone to have the opportunity to experience our wonderful area.  I have lived and travelled abroad a great deal, but I am forever inspired by my home town, the surrounding landscape and the people that live here ”
