the newly-created position of PR account director at Deep South Media.

Diprose,
44, said: “I’m absolutely delighted to be joining the talented team at
Deep South Media and to be working, once again, for Gareth.”

Weekes added: “Andrew is a great catch. He has a top-class track record in public relations and is also a superb journalist.”
