Jonathan Fry, Business and Management School, Aberystwyth UniversityI am looking forward to undertaking this Ambassador role as I have an undergraduate degree in Events Management as well as an MPhil research degree and am currently working towards a PhD in the field of events. I am not only passionate about the subject but also have a passion for promoting Wales as an events destination. It is pleasing to see that the closely related field of Tourism is featured as a key sector for this programme. The locations in Wales I have a particular affinity to are Cardiff and Aberystwyth, having grown up and studied in Cardiff and am working as a lecturer at Aberystwyth University.”
