Jamie Ashcroft, the News Editor for Proactive UK, has developed an impressive career in financial journalism, focusing on the small-cap sector for over fourteen years. Before joining the Proactive team, he was a stockbroker during the global financial crisis, a role that complemented his educational background - a first-class degree in Business and Economics and qualifications in software design and development. As one of the early external hires at Proactive in 2009, Jamie contributed significantly to the company's rapid evolution from a blog and investor events firm to the international media organisation it is today. Through this journey, he honed his journalism and digital media skills, while his economics knowledge and hands-on financial markets experience informed his content. Ashcroft's sector expertise spans oil and gas, mining, and technology. As well as being an accomplished financial journalist, Jamie is now Proactive’s SEO and digital publishing lead and has helped reframe and re-imagine one of the world’s most popular small-cap news sites.
