As one Defra agency appears to be finally learning the painful lessons of IT rollouts gone wrong, another seems to have walked into the same trap. Vickie Robinson
I joined Farmers Guardian in 2000 as a senior reporter. I have had numerous roles within the editorial department, including a five-month stint, based in Devon, launching our dedicated South West edition. I currently have two job titles, news editor and deputy editor, which mean I spend most of my time organising news coverage, editing copy and nagging journalists. Before FG, I gained a degree in Journalism from Liverpool and worked on local newspapers and a food magazine in London. However, being from South Lakeland, London life wasn’t for me. I’m still getting used to Lancashire!
