My breath was taken away a number of times during the @BAFTACymru awards last night watching from home. Really brought home what a community we are in Wales. High ambitions & a determined workforce - Wales is such a powerhouse in the screen industries.

Childhood Vicki beamed last night ☺️ hosting @UKScreenSkills ‘Meet the BBC Studios Drama team’ event for our Trainee Finder & First Break cohorts. EastEnders & Casualty were staples in our house growing up, so to hear from the show’s Talent & Training Execs was a real treat.
