As the Car Buying Editor for Parkers.co.uk, Ryan oversees all of the car finance, leasing and used content for the site. He can often be found searching the best deals or browsing through the classified looking for bargains.
Ryan began his career at Parkers in 2020 when he joined as a Commercial Content Writer. In 2022 he was promoted to Senior Commercial Content Writer, before becoming the Deputy Commercial Content Editor in 2023 and overseeing all product testing. Prior to working for Bauer Media, Ryan contributed to several automotive publications, including DriveTribe and Hot Cars, and even spent a few months working in Parliament as part of his politics degree.
An unbridled car enthusiast behind the keyboard and in the real world, he’s always been a passionate defender of small and lightweight cars. He’s also a passionate advocate for cleaning and caring for your car yourself. The mere mention of a drive-through car wash can send his blood boiling and will lead to a 20-minute rant on the tangible benefits of a good citrus pre-wash, quality car shampoo and ceramic paint sealant. He currently owns a Mazda MX-5 2.0 SportTech and is on the hunt for a Fiat Coupe.
Some of Ryan’s top tips for Parkers readers are:
- Double-check whether a deal is genuine – brands will happily fluctuate prices to give you a false sense of saving
- Don’t be scared to take a gamble – cars tend to be more reliable than before
- Think about what works for you – there’s plenty of variety on offer

- Finding PCP and PCH deals
