Guto Davies has joined ACE and EIC as new Head of Policy and will be working with Policy Director, Matthew Farrow.

Based in North Wales, Guto comes with a wealth of policymaking experience as a former political advisor at the Senedd and as an advisor on EU Exit at Natural Resources Wales.

He said, “I’m absolutely delighted to be joining ACE and EIC as the new Head of Policy at what is a challenging, but exciting, time for our members. I’m looking forward to playing my part helping to shape policy which supports a rapid recovery from the pandemic and levels up the UK while achieving society’s Net Zero ambitions. I can’t wait to get started and build on ACE and EIC’s already impactful voice with policymakers.”

Guto’s first project has been coordinating ACE’s engagement around the upcoming devolved, mayoral and local elections.
