In November 2017 Hannah was asked to serve in the Welsh Government in the environment brief. Since then, Hannah has held further roles in Government and is currently Minister for Social Partnership, leading on ground breaking legislation to put social partnership on a formal footing in Wales. Hannah has been active in the labour movement and democratic politics for a number of years, helping shape policy in the interests of working people. A proud trade unionist, prior to being elected, Hannah led on political and policy work for Unite in Wales, leading on a range of successful campaigns including: action on blacklisting; greater justice for victims of asbestos related diseases; protection for rural workers in Wales and tackling bogus self-employment.

Hannah is also a former co-chair of LGBT Labour and was active in the campaign for equal marriage and is now proud to lead on the Welsh Government’s work to make Wales the most LGBTQ+ friendly nation in Europe. Outside of work, Hannah likes to spend time out and about with her dog, making the most of all there is to offer across our communities and country.

Currently labelling herself a lapsed cyclist, Hannah once took part in a charity bike ride across Kenya.
