Thomas Manch
I'm a senior reporter covering infrastructure, transport, and housing at BusinessDesk.
I've worked as a journalist for a decade. Previously I covered politics, with a focus on foreign policy, trade, and defence, for The Post and Stuff.co.nz. I have also been a crime and general news reporter.
I live in Wellington, New Zealand.
On this website I intend to display my work and provide the best means to contact me.
You can also find me on Instagram, X (Twitter), and LinkedIn.
