About

Welcome to Petrolhead – a blog to share my passion for cars, motorsport and writing.

Here you’ll find news, reviews, features and opinion pieces, including those written during my time as a student on the MA Automotive Journalism course at Coventry University.

I hope you enjoy reading my work and welcome any feedback.

In 2016, I was the proud recipient of the Midland Group of Motoring Writers (MGMW) Phil Llewellin Award for motoring journalism (senior section), a competition held in memory of a much-missed MGMW member. I won the award for my article entitled ‘The perfect car for the perfect road.’ 

Follow me on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to be the first to read my latest blog posts and feel free to send me a message if you’d like to get in touch.

Thanks for visiting!
