Sheedy and Addison - Ambassadors for Herefordshire

Two former Hereford United players are to become ambassadors for Herefordshire. The aim is for them, and other well known people, to promote Herefordshire as a 'wonderful county to visit and relocate to'.

The launch of the ambassador programme takes place tomorrow evening at Hampton Court near Hereford and has been arranged by Visit Herefordshire.

The two former Bulls are Kevin Sheedy and Colin Addison. Other celebrities who have agreed to take part include John Challis, Quentin Letts, Mathew Engel, Sir Roy Strong, Richard Johnson, Ian Storey, Walenty Pytel, Sam Llewelyn, Kate Bliss, Eleanor Oldroyd, Miranda Richardson, Lord Alex Carlile, Julian Lloyd Webber, Robert Rogers and Brian Huggett.

Jane Lewis, tourism marketing manager for Herefordshire, said: “It is quite amazing who we have discovered with connections to the county, I am delighted that we have been able to recruit such great Ambassadors and we thank them for their contributions to the new visitor guide."
