City Editor
Mark Kleinman joined Sky News in September 2009 and has broken a series of agenda-setting stories, both on-air and through his ‘Kleinman’ blog.
His scoops include the takeover of Harrods by the Qatari royal family, the news of Tony Hayward’s resignation as chief executive of BP and the sale of Liverpool FC to the owners of the Boston Red Sox.
Mark led the way with news of the 2011 round of bonuses in the banking industry, revealing the details of the Government’s ‘Project Merlin’ deal with the major UK banks as they attempted to quell public anger over pay and lending.
In September 2011, Mark obtained a leaked copy of the Independent Commission on Banking’s report on industry reform, forcing its earlier-than-planned publication.
In 2006, while working for The Sunday Times, Mark won ‘Best Scoop’ at the Business Journalist of the Year Awards for his story about the takeover of P&O, the British ports and ferries operator, by Dubai Ports World.
His Sky News blog focuses on breaking exclusive stories, as well as offering analysis of the biggest stories in the City and the world of business.
