Biography: Christine Vorrés - Publisher Gwent

I worked for a large bank for many years before leaving two years ago to work at a printing company as Title Manager. It was while working for the printers that I came across Wellbeing Magazine and after a few months decided I would like to be involved in bringing Wellbeing to Wales.

For many years I have been participating in Young Enterprise as a business advisor and am now able to use my knowledge to help local businesses in the wellness industry.

I have been a member of Griffithstown Harriers for over 17 years and am passionate about off-road running, preferring to climb up mountains than pound the tarmac whenever possible. My favourite race has to be the Snowdon International Race which is 5 miles to the summit and my ambition is to participate in the Ben Nevis race one day.

Other hobbies include my allotment, which I have had for 11 years (before it became fashionable to have one) whilst not an expert by any means, we eat home grown vegetables with almost every meal. I would love to see local farmers back on the front line as suppliers of meat and vegetables, and support farmers markets in this area.

When I have 5 minutes to relax I will have a book in my hand as I read anything and everything.
