Reported on UK and European pensions’ news for Thomson Reuters - as well as the more niche area of insurance-linked securities (ILS).For pension news, I reported on the government’s auto-enrolment initiative, as well as the investment behavior of pension funds – often reporting on trends in the market before any of my competitors.For the ILS market, I helped develop and maintain an ILS-focused community website, which aggregated news, interviews and unique data to over 2,000 users.

I made the transition from monthly magazine to a weekly publication in order to sharpen my news-writing skills and overall experience. I was at Post magazine for a year before moving to Thomson Reuters and during that time I won the BIBA Industry award for 'Trade News Journalist' of the year and came highly recommended for BIBA 'Trade Feature Journalist' of the year in 2009.At Post, I covered everything to do with general insurance, including the insurer and broker market in the UK and Europe, loss adjusting, claims management, IT and technology.

My first job in journalism, I started as a junior reporter covering the UK insurance broker market via news and feature reporting. Within a year I was promoted to senior reporter, with responsibilities for managing sections of the magazine, such as e-commerce news and a dedicated Lloyd’s of London page. Within two years, I was promoted again to News Editor for the magazine as a reflection on my good networking skills, large contact base and ability to break news stories – illustrated by various awards, such as the winning the BIBA Industry award for ‘Trade News Journalist’ of the year and coming highly recommended for BIBA ‘Newcomer of the Year’ award in 2007. I was also nominated for ‘Journalist of the Year’ in 2008 for Incisive Media Group - the company that owns Insurance Age.
