Richard spent fifteen years as a senior investment manager at a mid-sized asset management firm before stepping back to write about the industry he had spent his career inside. He took a short journalism course, started contributing to financial publications and never looked back. His writing draws on genuine market experience — he has sat in the rooms where decisions were made and understands what the numbers behind a headline actually mean. He is particularly interested in how monetary policy and global market shifts affect British businesses and professionals at ground level. He lives in Surrey with his wife and two teenage sons and still checks Bloomberg before breakfast.
