Darren is the business editor at The Press and joined in 2021. After graduating with an economics degree from Warwick University, he started his journalism career at the North West Evening Mail in Barrow-in-Furness in 1989 when they still had typewriters. He has since worked at all levels, including editor, for weekly papers, daily papers and trade/ specialist magazines across the UK, New Zealand and Australia. I cover all kinds of business stories, plus much general news. I particularly like writing about pubs, restaurants, wine and beer.
