I am a freelance journalist, specialising in international, institutional finance, writing about everything from mergers and acquisitions, private equity and hedge funds, to securities services and many other arcane topics, including property (commercial and residential), management and recruitment (both in the public and private sectors), and sport (football, athletics and skiing have all featured in my assignment diary at different times).
I am rare amongst financial journalists in that I have a banking background, having benefitted from the graduate training programme at the late, lamented Midland Bank International Division from 1979-84. I believe I might be unique amongst financial journalists in being a Fellow of the ifs School of Finance (FIFS).
