Reuters global enterprise editor Mike Williams sent out the following:
All,
I’m delighted to report that Gavin Finch is joining Reuters as an investigative reporter on the Global Enterprise Team.
Gavin joins us from Bloomberg, where as senior investigations reporter he has produced sophisticated work with potent real-world impact. In 2023-24, he led a team that revealed how major energy companies were saddling UK consumers with more than a billion pounds in extra costs by manipulating markets. The story led to new regulatory rules and won a Wincott Award, Britain’s top business-journalism honor. He and his colleagues revealed in 2018 how a few hedge funds reaped hundreds of millions of dollars from just a few minutes’ advance insider knowledge about the Brexit vote outcome, earning the team a Barlett & Steele Gold Medal for Investigative Journalism.
Gavin brings a high level of financial literacy, deep experience in follow-the-money reporting, and a record of holding top institutions to account. In 2019, he exposed endemic sexual harassment in the Lloyd’s of London insurance market, sparking an overhaul in how the industry polices itself. Earlier, he and his colleagues won a Gerald Loeb award for detailing how traders at Citi, UBS, Barclays, JPMorgan and other banks colluded to rig the $5 trillion-a-day global foreign exchange market for years.
Based in London, Gavin will help drive our investigative reporting in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. He will report to Lori Hinnant and start toward the end of June.
Gavin began his career at Euromoney covering the bond and money markets. That was his beat for Bloomberg as well during the global financial crisis.
Please join me in welcoming him to Reuters and wishing him success in this important new role.
