HCC Launches Annual Welsh Lamb Media Campaign
In the third installment of the 'Experts in their Field' campaign, HCC is putting Welsh farmers at the forefront of their advertising. Dinas Mawddwy farmers Lisa and Ken Markham feature in HCC's television advert which is running over several months on S4C and Sky channels, whilst Emily Jones from Ceredigion and Ben and Ethan Williams from Cardiff feature in digital aspects of the campaign.
An additional 'Expert on the field' has joined the campaign this year in the form of ex-Wales and British Lions rugby player, Jonathan 'Fox' Davies. As well as featuring in social media content, Jonathan also joined HCC on their stand at the Royal Welsh Show earlier this year.
Speaking about his appointment as a brand ambassador for Welsh Lamb, Jonathan said:
'As a proud Welshman, and someone who loves his food, it's great to be working with Welsh Lamb. I know how important farming heritage is for our rural communities and the role it plays in keeping the economy and communities alive.
'As someone who has travelled a lot through rugby, I've seen the high regard Welsh Lamb is held across the world. With health and fitness also being important to me, I'm looking forward to showing how having a healthy and balanced diet, with food such as Welsh Lamb, doesn't mean having to compromise on quality or taste.'
HCC's Brand Engagement Lead, Pip Gill, said:
'Our Expert in their Field campaign has resonated well with audiences across England and Wales and has strengthened perceptions around farming methods in Wales as well as Welsh Lamb as a product.
'We're thrilled to have Jonathan join us as a brand ambassador this year. Like our farmers, Jonathan is an expert in his field and like Welsh Lamb, he has a world-renowned reputation. We are looking forward to working with him over the coming months to promote and champion Welsh Lamb.'
Coinciding with when Welsh Lamb is at its peak availability, the campaign is running throughout summer and autumn. Digital advertising across social media channels such as Facebook, Instagram and Linkedin in taking place over the campaign as well as targeted advertising in collaboration with supermarkets stocking Welsh Lamb across England and Wales.

How Rees-Zammit can become a rugby star again
San Francisco 49ers have been scrubbed out and Leicester Tigers have been pencilled in on 28 September in Louis Rees-Zammit's 24-year-old is a rugby player again after a failed bid to crack the was confirmed as the Wales winger's chosen destination on Thursday after his exit from Jacksonville Lam's men are working towards their Prem Rugby opener against Leicester at Ashton Gate in six weeks' time - 20 months since his last game rugby or, in fact, any form of competitive will only heighten the focus on his what can we expect from the prodigal son's return? Bristol a 'perfect match' When Rees-Zammit announced his intention to return to rugby it sparked a transfer Bristol had finances available despite the salary cap and spaces to fill in the back three."He's a very talented player and there were a lot of clubs from Japan, France and England chasing him [so] we're chuffed he signed," said head of recruitment Gethin Watts, formerly of Ospreys, Cardiff and the Welsh Rugby expansive style helped with the sales pitch to Rees-Zammit's brother and agent champions Bath scored more than their 95 league tries as Bristol only twice missed out on a try-bonus and wing Gabriel Ibitoye finishing joint top scorer by crossing 13 times."The way we play the game, and the way he wants to play the game – it's a perfect match," said Bristol and Ospreys coach Sean Holley believes that the move can help the rapid Rees-Zammit add to his game."I do see Pat using him as a versatile back-three player," he said to BBC Radio Wales Breakfast."Bristol use their wingers really well and bring them off the wing and like to give them the ball in hand."They want to get the ball quickly and shift it wide but Louis will be encouraged to get involved elsewhere."There is a lot of kicking in rugby now, particularly in England, so we might even see him at full-back, which will be good because we want him to develop his kicking skills."Bristol have stressed they have not broken the bank to sign Rees-Zammit for the 2025-26 season but a switch to the breakaway R360 league is mooted for next year.

Bristol's stunning end-to-end try in their breathless semi-final against Bath in June showed just what he is returning to."Physically he's in a good place, but there's a responsibility on us to integrate him back into rugby carefully," said Watts."We're not going to rush him in straight away. We need to assess him. Training [in the NFL] is completely different to how we do things over here."Time will tell whether adding muscle for the NFL has impacted Rees-Zammit's top-end speed, in the short-term at least, but first it will be about the basics."Pat and his coaching team will need to get him back passing, kicking, catching," said Holley."All the physical attributes are there with Louis Rees-Zammit and he will have honed them even more in America. Muscle memory is a strange thing and it won't take him that long." A rapid Test return?

I just hope he can live up to that."Payers like Henry Pollock, Marcus Smith, Finn Russell, Antoine Dupont, Cheslin Kolbe generate enthusiasm and a buzz around any team they play in."Louis fits into that category and if he had been available he would have been in with a shout for a starting Lions berth this summer. He is that good."
