Derber Editorial services

Financial

Institutional investment, private equity and venture capital fundraising have dominated our reporting for Thomson Reuters since 2010. For other clients we've covered aviation finance, recruitment and entrepreneurship via features, news and consultancy work. Senior contacts at some of Europe's biggest industrial and financial firms ensure that we bring a unique voice to publications seeking to boost their coverage of the region.

Technical

In more than a decade of aviation reporting we've covered topics ranging from innovations in composite materials to the latest enterprise software. Concepts such as lean manufacturing, RFID and just-in-time logistics are well established in aviation's hugely complex aftermarket and supply chains, while the Internet of Things was pioneered in modern aircraft that monitor and broadcast their status in real time. Airlines have also been among the first to exploit other emerging technology trends, notably mobile customer engagement via devices like the Apple Watch.

Environmental

Sound coverage of the environment and climate change understands the interplay between financial, technical and regulatory concerns. Our research has covered government subsidies for renewable energy, the latest wonder-plants for biofuels and the EU's battles to impose its emissions trading system on non-member states. In 2007 the World Leadership Forum chose our investigation into climate change and aviation as the best air transport article of the year.

Corporate

Whether it's a speech, press release or presentation, corporate communications work best when they evince shared interests and unfolding trends. Rolls-Royce, BP and Lufthansa are among the companies we've helped by crafting copy that reads like an independent feature, but functions like advertorial. Knowledge of the editorial cycle is also vital, since trade and mainstream press often ignore developments that don't chime with their forward calendars. As journalists, we ensure there's a response.

General

Our business and technical content is mainly for trade publications, but we also work for the mainstream press. A base in London means that most stories cross our desks, though politics, culture and the combustible property market are our favourite topics.
