Freelance profile

Vic Wyman

Based in Brussels, my reporting includes EU policy and institutions and I am able to cover briefings and events in Brussels at short notice. I also report more generally, particularly on: energy, including renewables and nuclear energy; environmental topics, including water; insurance and reinsurance; R&D; industrial and engineering topics, including food and drink processing; and business in general. I have a long background in reporting, news editing, feature writing and editing print and on-line publications, often with an international focus. I also offer subbing and proof-reading services. I have a good grasp of technical matters (I have an aeronautical engineering degree, for example).

I have been responsible for news websites and write regularly for on-line publications.
I write news and features, including profiles and technical stories, and I have researched and written many reports, including market studies.
