One of the Carmarthen Journal’s longest-serving members of staff has retired after almost 29 years as the public face of the newspaper.

Gloria “Glo” Arundel has been greeting people at the reception desk since 1972.

Hundreds of staff over the years have got to know her bubbly style and helpful manner – which have made her the ideal representative for the newspaper.

As the first point of contact for many people all over the town recognise her and stop her for the latest news – and approach her with ideas for all kinds of stories.

She said: “I was forever being chased by people. People get to know you as part of the paper.”

Editor Alan Osborn paid tribute to her and said: “Gloria will be missed by everyone here. Over the years she has won the respect and admiration of everyone.”
