Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndrew Haslam is a seasoned freelance editor and journalist with over 11 years’ experience specialising in football and major sporting events, notably leading editorial coverage for UEFA’s Champions League finals since 2008. He combines fast, accurate copy-editing with project management—having run a 20-person matchnight editorial team, coordinated 100+ correspondents across Europe, and led editorial delivery for Fantasy Football products with millions of users. Equally comfortable producing live rolling coverage, long-form features and technical reports, he is skilled at turning complex research and multi-language sources into concise, broadcast-ready copy. A motivated self-starter based in Greater Brighton, he has a strong track record of recruiting and managing freelance teams and producing large press packs under tight deadlines. His background in English with French and an Erasmus year in Lyon underpin an ability to work confidently with non-English sources and international stakeholders. He is eager to broaden beyond sport, bringing creativity, speed and editorial rigour to new media challenges.
