Who's Who

Andrew Campbell
Chairman
Andrew Campbell: For those who do not know me I come from a predominantly educational background, but upon leaving school studied Hotel Management for three years at University College Birmingham (formerly Birmingham College of Food, Tourism and Creative Studies). Practical experience was then gained working in both the hotel and institutional catering sectors. Up until September 2017 I was Head of School of Tourism at the University of Wales Trinity St David. Now having taken on a wider strategic role within the Faculty of Business, this new appointment has enabled me to become further engaged with grassroots tourism and to become more involved in regional projects.
I am currently Vice Chair of Pembrokeshire Tourism and also sit on various committees which includes Visit Wales SW Regional Forum, Carmarthenshire County Council Destination Management Team, Steering Group for the proposed Wales School of Hospitality, St David’s Diocesan Faith Tourism Group, North Pembrokeshire Transport Forum – and being based in Fishguard, belong to a Welcome Group for cruise ship passengers to the port. Throughout my career, vocational education has been my “raison d’etre” and for many years it has been a privilege to teach students and to help develop programmes to best meet the needs of industry.
