Kath Chadwick

Director

Kath Chadwick is a director and a co-founder of Front Door Communications.

Her deep-rooted knowledge of the regional and national media landscape, built up through two decades living and working as a journalist in Wales, underpins the support she now provides to Front Door clients based regionally, nationally and globally.

Formerly a producer with BBC Wales, Kath launched her career as a journalist on the Barry and District News and the South Wales Argus, before joining the BBC as an investigative reporter for Week In Week Out.

Her skills in uncovering the mismanagement of a children’s charity, illegally practicing vets and the Royal Television Society award-winning coverage and subsequent television programme into the Clywch Inquiry, as well as other professional misdemeanours across Wales, soon led her to work as a producer for radio documentary series Eye on Wales covering everything from the smoking ban, election hustings, TB in cattle and more.

From here she moved to a role producing BBC Radio Wales’ flagship business programme, Wales@Work alongside presenter Nick Servini, and also worked as a producer on Good Evening Wales and Crimewatch Roadshow. She was commissioned to produce a Radio 4 documentary focused on Newport Council and the Celtic Manor in the run up to the 2010 Ryder Cup.

Her move from journalism into PR came when she was offered a PR Manager role with Go.Compare where she remained for two years, before going freelance and ultimately setting up her own agency in Front Door Communications.

A mother of two sons, she divides her time between walking her spaniel Will, lifting heavy weights and enjoying a drink or two at her parents’ pub in the village that she lives in and grew up in near Pontypridd. She is a fluent Welsh speaker.

Lisa Blake

Head of PR

Lisa is a former news editor with more than 15 years’ experience working for celebrity and lifestyle magazines such as OK!, Closer and new. She’s interviewed hundreds of celebrities, including Kylie Minogue, Tom Jones and Peter Andre. But her all-time favourite is Robbie Williams.

She’s also enjoyed freelance stints in her career where she’s placed exclusive news stories in the Sunday Mirror, The Sun, Mail on Sunday and more.

In 2020, Lisa moved into TV PR, working on the publicity of ITV Daytime shows including Good Morning Britain, This Morning, Loose Women, Lorraine, The Chase and Tipping Point.
Two years later, she returned to her native Wales, where she focused on building relationships with local press contacts while helping with the PR of TV shows including BBC Wales’ A Special School and S4C’s Cyfrinachau’r Llyfrgell (Best Kept Secrets).

She also helped with the red carpet media management of the Child of Wales Awards 2023 and 2024 and the BAFTA Cymru Awards 2022.

In her spare time, Lisa can be found watching hard-hitting crime documentaries, listening to Stereophonics (she’s seen them perform live over 25 times), and drinking Coca Cola (has to be full fat).

Bethan Rees

Head of Digital

Beth has over 10 years of experience in digital, content, and social media marketing. She joined Front Door in 2017 after having worked in book publishing for four years as a marketing consultant to new authors, heading up book launches, readings, viral social campaigns, and local outreach to help promote new release titles both in the community and online.

As Head of Digital, Beth’s experience is rooted in digital marketing, managing campaigns that stretch across paid social and PPC, website content and SEO, organic social media and influencer marketing for a variety of B2C and B2B clients.

Outside the realm of marketing, she loves books and theatre. However, most days you will find her wrestling to control her kids and a very stubborn golden retriever, Coco.

Rachel Mainwaring

Account Manager

Rachel is a former journalist with more than 20 years of experience working for WalesOnline, Western Mail, South Wales Echo and Wales on Sunday. Working mainly in features, Rachel covered thousands of stores and, as a mum-of-two, shared the trials and tribulations of parenting in a weekly column. She loved nothing better than chasing a good celebrity story and interviewed hundreds of showbiz stars – Take That’s Gary Barlow remains her favourite!

Rachel left the newsroom to hone her skills as a communications consultant for three years before joining Front Door as an Account Manager.

When she’s not working, you’ll either find her on a long walk with her gorgeous dog Bertie and husband Andrew, singing at the top of her voice to Taylor Swift alongside daughter Molly or freezing pitch-side watching her son George play football.  She’s also partial a good book, keeping fit and enjoying a glass (or two) of Sauvignon Blanc with her friends.
