The Financial Times has appointed Henry Foy as its new Brussels bureau chief. He replaces Sam Fleming who will take up a new role in London as economics editor in October.

Foy will continue to serve as the FT’s European diplomatic correspondent and the voice of Europe Express, the FT’s agenda-setting weekday newsletter on European affairs. He was previously Moscow bureau chief, where he interviewed Vladimir Putin and charted his regime's descent into repression, and has also been posted in Warsaw and London since joining the FT in 2013 from Reuters.

The FT’s 40-strong editorial network covers Belgium, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Portugal, BeneLux, the Nordics and Eastern Europe.

The Europe Express newsletter is available to premium FT subscribers, find out more and sign up here.
