About Tim Chapman
I'm a freelance writer and editor based in Halifax, West Yorkshire, covering the broad fields of business, technology and economics.

My work has appeared in publications as diverse as Real Deals and Real Business, Nature, Corporate Financier, Financial Times, Fortean Times, Physics World and Quantitative Finance, and I've also done extensive research and editorial work for a range of corporate and public sector clients. In 2002, I was the winner in the specialist category of the BVCA/ISIS Venture Capital Journalist of the Year Awards.

Areas of interest and experience include venture capital, applied technology, mid-market corporate finance and regional development. I'm particularly interested in the emerging area of clean technology and, in June 2007, launched the Clean Ventures blog to track cleantech deals and issues from a UK perspective.

I became a full-time freelance in November 2000, after working as a reporter on Chemistry & Industry; deputy editor on the Insider regional business monthlies in Yorkshire and the North West; and assistant editor on Venturedome, the now-defunct news and services portal for the venture capital and private equity industries.

I originally studied Astrophysics at the University of Edinburgh, gaining a first class honours BSc in 1995. I then took a one-year journalism diploma with distinction at Highbury College, Portsmouth, and have worked constantly since then. More recently, I studied part-time for an MA in Economics and Finance at the University of Sheffield, which I again achieved with distinction.
