A job advert on the council's website reads: "Underneath the natural and historic beauty of the Cotswolds lies a technologically advanced economy with award-winning businesses.

"Based in the Roman town of Cirencester, and the heart of the Cotswolds, you will be working collaboratively with a network of key partners, business leaders and organisations from across the district.
