THE Leader team have secured a new base in the town – thanks to Wrexham Glyndwr University.

Multi-media journalist from the Wrexham Leader team will be working in Glyndwr’s Centre for the Creative Industries thanks to an agreement with the university. The new arrangement will allow copy and pictures from the Leader team from events around the region to be filed quickly and efficiently.

Newsquest North Wales Group Editor Susan Perry said: “We are very grateful to Glyndwr University to allow us to be based on their campus.

We look forward to working alongside the staff and students at the university and welcoming members of the public to our new space and to continue reporting on all the news , views and events from the Wrexham area “

Wrexham Glyndwr University’s Associate Dean for Student Engagement in the Faculty of Arts, Science and Technology, Colin Heron, added: “As a university which prides itself as being at the heart of our region and our community, we are very happy to host the Leader team.

“A number of journalists working for Newsquest in North Wales have graduated from our courses, so we already have a relationship. By providing a base here for Leader journalists, there are new opportunities, we can build on that relationship for the benefit of all concerned.

“Industry links such as this are important in helping to provide our students with the experience they need to be employment-ready when they graduate.

“We’d like to welcome the Leader team to our campus – and we look forward to working with them.”
