Chief reporter

I joined Newsquest in September 2018, initially working as a trainee reporter for the Helensburgh Advertiser. Having progressed to senior reporter, working on the Advertiser, Clydebank Post and Dumbarton & Vale of Leven Reporter, I moved across to the Ayrshire titles to become chief reporter for the Ardrossan & Saltcoats Herald in February 2022. I have an interest in any and all news and sport stories - feel free to get in touch using the details below.
