Beti George
Elin Rhys
Beti George began her broadcasting career which spans over half a century in Swansea, as a reporter for the BBC Wales news programme 'Bore Da'. Since then she has presented a wide variety of programmes for television and radio, reaching the top of a profession traditionally dominated by men, having to fight for equal pay along the way. A friend and supporter of Academi Hywel Teifi and the University, Beti George is also known for her work as a campaigner for those affected by Alzheimer's disease.
An alumnus and honorary fellow of Swansea University, Elin Rhys worked as a scientist with the Welsh Water Authority before beginning her career as a television presenter with HTV and S4C in the Eighties. In 1993, she set up Telesgop, her own television company based in Swansea, to popularize science in the media.
