He was promoted in 2002 to deputy editor of Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry where he helped to successfully launch the journal in January 2003. In June 2003 he moved to the books team as a commissioning editor, where in an 18 month period he successfully commissioned high profile authors such as Philip Ball and Professor Ram Rao. In January 2005, he became Editor of Chem Soc Rev, Annual Reports and Specialist Periodical Reports, where his key responsibility was to commission high quality review content. Most recently he has been promoted to Editor of the RSC's Flagship journal collection, Chemical Communications and Chem Soc Rev.
