I am the UK companies editor at the Financial Times. I write this blog every morning as I’m going through our plans for the day with the FT’s correspondents and my fellow news editors. It is a first take on how we see the news (minus the scoops we’re working on - we keep those to ourselves until we’re ready to publish them so as not to alert the competition).
This being a newsroom, our plans change throughout the day, so I update the blog when I can. Close watchers will see that sometimes, by the time the paper appears the next day, we have changed our minds about what a particular story means and how to cover it. You can tell us what you think anytime: just post a comment.
I have been a financial journalist since graduating from Cambridge in social and political science in 1993. I spent five years on The Daily Telegraph, including two years covering business in New York.
I joined the FT in 1998 and, before taking over responsibility for UK companies in 2004, had spent five years as banking editor and investment banking correspondent. Quite often on Sunday evenings I help Jeff Randall with The Weekend Business, his programme on BBC Radio Five Live.
