Max Williams

Features Editor

Max has worked at Square Mile since 2016. He joined as editorial assistant (e.g. making the coffees) before rising to the giddy heights of Features Editor (still makes the coffees). He likes a good pub, loves a bad pub, plays a decent chess game yet still can't whistle. Crystal Palace winning the FA Cup is easily one of the best days of his life. At Square Mile, he specialises in profile pieces, travel and food. Plus coffee, of course.
