I am a writer specialising in environment and business issues for corporate clients, newspapers, magazines and think tanks.

I cover the entire spectrum of green issues, from the far reaches of nanotechnology to corporate sustainability. I have almost 20 years experience as a newspaper journalist, including nine years at the Financial Times before striking out as a freelance writer for national newspapers, magazines and the business world. I am able to write authoritatively on the scientific, social, economic, political and business/investment issues around environmental subjects including;
  • sustainability,
  • climate change,
  • clean technology
  • the carbon markets
  • Socially Responsible Investing
  • Corporate Social Responsibility
