Nina Barbour is director / without THE??
Hello!
Could you help me, please?
On BBC website there is an article about weather (https://www.bbc.com/news/business-48674803).
The following sentence puzzled me:
Nina Barbour is director of Bolesworth Estate, where one of the country's biggest equestrian events went ahead last week - but was closed to the public.
Why does the part "Nina Barbour is director" has no THE in front of the word "director"? Is it because of the newspaper style, or?
Thank you!
