Huge congratulations to former student Rhys Phillips on being appointed the first Welsh Chief Cashier in the 330-year history of the Bank of England! 👏🏻🏦

Originally from Port Talbot, Rhys studied Economics at Neath College before progressing to university and building an exceptional career at the Bank 🎓✨

As Chief Cashier, Rhys’ signature will appear on Bank of England banknotes. He will also lead the teams responsible for banknote design and production, as well as security and anti-counterfeiting measures. He will even help decide who and what appears on future banknotes. Sir Tom Jones, perhaps? 👀🎶

Llongyfarchiadau mawr i’r cyn-fyfyriwr Rhys Phillips ar gael ei benodi’n Brif Ariannwr Cymreig cyntaf yn hanes 330 mlynedd y Bank of England! 👏🏻🏦

Yn wreiddiol o Bort Talbot, astudiodd Rhys Economeg yng Ngholeg Castell-nedd cyn symud ymlaen i’r brifysgol ac adeiladu gyrfa eithriadol gyda’r Banc 🎓✨

Fel Prif Ariannwr, bydd llofnod Rhys yn ymddangos ar a***n papur Banc Lloegr. Bydd hefyd yn arwain y timau sy’n gyfrifol am ddylunio a chynhyrchu a***n papur, yn ogystal â mesurau diogelwch ac atal ffugio. Bydd hyd yn oed yn helpu i benderfynu pwy a beth fydd yn ymddangos ar a***n papur y dyfodol. Syr Tom Jones, efallai? 👀🎶

Working with athletes, they applied a range of sports massage techniques, including effleurage, petrissage, tapotement and passive stretching, targeting key muscle groups to support recovery and overall wellbeing 👐🏻

Experiences like this are invaluable in helping students build confidence, refine their practical skills and gain real-world industry experience 🌟
