Mark Sutcliffe, a former student of the Royal Grammar School who now heads Salar Media Services is the latest recruit to Champion Bowland. Mark began his career as a journalist on the Clitheroe Advertiser and Times and also worked for the Burnley Express. Mark offers communication advice to the Forest of Bowland AONB and spends much of his spare time walking and cycling in the Forest of Bowland.
It is an honour to be asked to join the Champion Bowland team at such a pivotal moment. Farming, food, recreation and the environment are rapidly moving up everyone's agenda and I'm looking forward to playing an active role in communicating the value of the Forest of Bowland's wealth of natural assets to a wider audience.
