Rachel Sweeney is an established broadcast journalist with 15 years’ experience producing, reporting and presenting news, human interest features and entertainment television.

Other leading-edge reports included the farming community’s prediction of UK milk price volatility as well as, future predictions of vegetable and egg shortages and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, affecting the importation of sunflower oil, resulting in the domestic increase of rapeseed oil alternatives.

Rachel said: “I know the region and I am very grateful the region knows me. I have joined families for breakfast before the school-run and worked with business professionals and political leaders. It is a privilege to have such a strong relationship within regional and local communities.” 

A proactive user of social media, Rachel has more than 17k followers on Twitter including Piers Morgan; Lord Sugar, Susanna Reid, Eamonn Holmes and Denise Welch as well as numerous TV personalities, business leaders, politicians and writers.
