Chris Maxwell

News Editor
Chris joined The National in June 2018 and has been part of the UAE media scene for numerous years. Prior to moving to the country, he worked as a reporter and editor for local newspapers in the north of England for more than a decade. Chris has sought to embrace the UAE lifestyle, with ill-advised antics including driving around the Yas Marina race track and jumping out of a plane for a sky dive.
