Lee Walters said, “We’ve got people entering the industry who have incredible technical skills and who are educating people who’ve been in the industry for years about new technologies.

As well as the technical skills, it’s important that we give people these kinds of skills.”

“What we’re trying to identify at Media Cymru is what added value we can offer, and filling any gaps there are in the training that’s available at the moment, by working with our partners.”
