Former Aberconwy MP Guto Bebb is the new Managing Director of FUW Insurance Services Ltd (FUWIS)

Mr Bebb, who hails from Caernarfon, was previously an Under Secretary of State for Wales and the Minister for Defence Procurement.

He was first elected to Westminster in 2010 and served as MP for Aberconwy for almost a decade

Before starting his political career Mr. Bebb was a business consultant and company director.

His commercial experience stood him in good stead as a member of the Public Accounts Committee at Westminster and in managing the multi-million procurement budget of the Ministry of Defence.

In welcoming his appointment, Tom Jones, Chair of FUWIS, said: “It’s a great pleasure to have Guto on board. FUWIS is a growing company which provides key services to the agriculture sector in Wales.

“With Guto at its head, I'm confident that we will see that growth continuing. We pride ourselves on providing a high-quality service that

is also close to our customers in their varied communities across Wales. We have found a new head who understands this basic relationship and will know how to build on that existing firm foundation.”

Glyn Roberts, President of the FUW said: “FUWIS’s services are a key component of the services that we as a Union offer to not only our members but to the rural community in its entirety. I know that Guto understands the agriculture sector in Wales and will know how to shape future services to meet their needs. I look forward greatly to working with him.”

Mr Bebb commented: “It’s good to be back amidst the business hubbub of Wales. This is a new exciting challenge which I look forward to

embracing enthusiastically.”

Mr. Bebb will take on his new role at FUWIS on April 6.
