The East Anglian Daily Times has appointed Jessica Hill as its new business writer.

Ms Hill comes to Archant with seven years of experience as a freelance journalist, having previously written for The Sun, The Daily Mail, the Echo in South Essex and The National newspaper in the UAE.

Prior to that, she worked as a reporter covering the Dartmoor National Park area for the Express & Echo in Exeter, after qualifying as a newspaper reporter from the University of Brighton.

The 39 year-old said: “I’m very much looking forward to touching base with local business people, and hearing about the key issues that are affecting industries in this region. Whether that’s celebrating local businesses achieving their key milestones, hard-hitting news about job losses or creation, or the impact of Brexit on a local level, I’ll be reporting on the stories that count.”
