Skip is returning to the Standard after an absence of ten years, during which time she has been editor of the Stroud News & Journal and of the Gloucestershire Gazette series.

    “It is a terrific news area and a huge amount of change is taking place in the Cotswolds at the moment.

    “I consider myself very lucky.”

    Skip is the first person to have been editor of all three of the Gloucestershire paid-for weekly titles, all of which are owned by Newsquest.
