James Whitfield

James spent eight years as a financial analyst in the City before deciding he was better at explaining markets than working inside them. He retrained as a journalist in his early forties and found his footing quickly, contributing to business and finance titles across the UK. His writing translates complex economic developments into clear, readable copy without losing the substance. He has a particular interest in how macro trends filter down into everyday business decisions. He lives in London, follows the FTSE with professional curiosity and reads more annual reports than he would ever admit.
