My book Shredded: Inside RBS, The Bank That Broke Britain, published in June 2014, has been described as the “definitive account” of the rise and fall of the Royal Bank of Scotland. It was long-listed for Financial Times and McKinsey Business Book of the Year 2014 and named as a book of the tear by Bloomberg, The Week and Huffington Post.

I’m available for freelance assignments including research, writing, commissioning and editing. Sectors covered include banking, financial markets, economics, energy and small & medium sized enterprises (SMEs). Strengths include excellent contacts in business and finance and the ability to make complex subjects accessible to a general audience.
