Will is a professional and hard working reporter, who is committed to producing accurate and unbiased news stories, reports and features. He regularly promoted events and news in Millom and South Copeland to readers of the North West Evening Mail. I have no doubt in his ability to transfer these skills to communications work elsewhere.
