Motorscribe

I'm Mark, freelance writer, journalist, content creator and PR. Based in the UK, I specialise in the automotive industry and was a national motoring editor for over ten years before I went freelance. I have a passion for design, as well as the stories of those who drive the industry, but I cover all aspects and a bit of yachting too, because who doesn't like luxury yachts. Back to motoring though and here are some of the aspects I regularly report on:
  • New model launches and reviews
  • Features
  • Buyers guides
  • Executive interviews
  • Industry trends and insight
  • Design 
  • Technology and engineering
  • Road safety
  • Classic cars
  • Opinion Pieces
I write for titles in the UK and around the world, have been the presenter of a commercial vehicles show on CNBC and hosted a motoring radio show for many years. I also provide freelance PR and media communications to some big names in the classic car world, including a major international auction house, but I always ensure strict separation without any conflict of interest, because ethics are still important.

Along the way I've won a few awards, including the Newspress Automotive Business Journalist of the Year and Automotive Technology Writer of the Year, the Guild of Motoring Writers/AA Campaigning for Safety Award and I proudly accepted a Motoring Editor of the Year Award in 2018.

I've travelled the world doing this job and have an extensive list of contacts in all areas of the automotive industry. I'm passionate about what I do and I enjoy sharing my passion, knowledge, experience and opinion with readers, viewers and listeners, wherever they may be.

Some of the stories and events coming up that you might want some words about. I often have embargoed events that I can't mention on here so it's always worth asking.
