Edward Welsh obituary

Wed, 24 Dec 2025

My twin brother, Edward Welsh, who has died aged 63 of bowel cancer, was a national newspaper journalist and a communications director.

In the late 1980s he worked on the Sunday Times, was a feature writer for the Daily Telegraph and had several roles on the Times. However, after spending a summer at the Carter Center in Atlanta, and observing the former American president Jimmy Carter’s work on conflict resolution during the Bosnian war and his commitment to public service, Edward decided to move into public sector communications.
