“I am delighted to be joining the team at The Clare Champion and I look forward to this new challenge. I have always been on the road as a rep and I will be out and about all over Clare, Limerick and the surrounding areas. No matter where you go, value for money is at the forefront of people’s minds and I will be meeting with customers, both old and new, and developing relationships,” Leo stated.
