What I do

I am a freelance business journalist, specialising in entrepreneurship and small businesses.

Feel free to ring me to discuss a commission. I am able to complete difficult assignments at very short notice. Over the last ten years I've written a huge amount on the following subjects:

• Entrepreneurs who've been fabulously successful.
• Mobile applications for business.
• Homeworking.
• New technologies for businesses.
• Venture capital, AIM & Plus.
• Politics, including small business regulation, the department for business and quangos.
• Web tools and tricks for small firms.

Career

I am the former editor of EuroBusiness magazine and deputy editor of Real Business magazine, and have written for The Guardian, Financial Management, LQ, Real FD, The Marketer, NatWest's Business Sense and the CBI's magazine, Business Voice.

My specialism is interviewing entrepreneurs. Memorable interviews include John Caudwell on the day he banked £2.4bn and the "kitchen gangster" Vance Miller. I also cover politics, and have interviewed David Cameron, the President of Estonia, the prime minister of Lithuania and countless MPs and MEPs.

To read these see the Articles section.

I write a column for LaunchLab.co.uk, a fabulous new help site for start-ups.

I am a regular on Steve Parks Red Pod podcast on entrepreneurship (see, or rather listen to, numbers 20, 24 and 38. 24 is probably the best).

In 2006 I won the PPA Business Writer of the Year award.
