Originally from the UK, Nick has previously worked at The Japan Times, the Hong Kong Standard, Time Out Hong Kong magazine and the South China Morning Post.
Over the years, he has been a contributor to the Asahi Evening News and The Daily Yomiuri (Japan), The Star (Malaysia), the Bangkok Post, The Sunday Telegraph (UK), the Toronto Star (Canada), The Boston Globe (USA), and others.
With more than 20 years’ media experience as a writer/reporter, photojournalist and editor, Nick has provided editorial content and photos to publications around the globe.
He has also written authoritatively on travel, F&B, lifestyle, professional and personal development, Asia-Pacific current affairs, criminology, and other topics.
“It’s a great honour to be working with Phuket’s most widely circulated English-language weekly,” Nick said.
“As a frequent visitor to Thailand in recent years, I have become familiar with the island’s premier news weekly, and have been impressed by the many advances it has made since its launch some three years ago,” Nick said.
He replaces Simon Ostheimer who, after almost three years as Managing Editor, is taking on a new challenge as Marketing and Communications Manager at the British International School Phuket.
By a quirk of fate, history is replaying itself, in reverse.
In 2008, Simon replaced Nick as the Books Editor of Time Out Hong Kong.
“I was aware that, before coming to Phuket, Simon had long been a lifestyle magazine editor of regional renown. And the huge strides made by The Phuket News, in such a short time, particularly in its features section, are due to both his considerable features expertise and the newspaper’s top-notch staff,” Nick said.
The Phuket News is delighted to welcome Nick and hopes that readers and friends of the newspaper will give him a traditionally warm Phuket reception. We also wish Simon great success in his new role.
