'I've grown up around cars and engineering, but along the way have also built up the digital expertise that allows me to play a part in running one of the UK's biggest car review websites.

'Over the years I've built and maintained both road and racing cars, having competed in several high-level national and international motorsport events and taken home 16 trophies, including the Highest Place Rookie award in my first season of Formula Vee and a number of class wins and podiums to boot.These days my racing interest is in older cars, though, and in 2016 I was lucky enough to race this 1940s MG TC special at the Le Mans Classic event:

'However, it's my road driving experience that lends itself to working at Parkers. I've driven all over the world in a huge array of vehicles, competing in eco-driving competitions (which I dislike greatly) and long-distance trips to far-flung locations.

'Furthermore, I'm a trained journalist with an eye for a story, and enjoy getting stuck into the technical sides of running a website. I've got a passion for audience development as a result.

'Away from work, I'm a qualified sailing yacht skipper, maritime history enthusiast and amateur meteorologist.'
