Ed has held a number of communications and public affairs roles in business associations, renewable energy, higher education and now housing. He leads the communications and marketing function at The Wrekin Housing Group, a social housing and care provider that drives social value and makes a difference to people’s lives across Shropshire and Staffordshire.

Away from his laptop Ed spends time with his young family, reads history, writes about food and drink. He also tries to keep fit – which isn’t helped by his passion for sweet treats.

I’ve got some much out of the #CommsHero community, the sense of camaraderie, the support network, the expertise, hints and tips it’s all so valuable, so being able to give a little back is an absolute no brainer. Plus when we deliver the plans that are being discussed its going to be epic, and I don’t want FOMO.
