Articles by Matthew MacConnell, Journalist

After five years in IT, Matthew realised fixing computers wasn't his thing, so called it a day to focus on becoming a motoring journalist — something of a life-long dream. While working full time, he studied remotely at the London School of Journalism and sacrificed holidays to pursue work experience opportunities at Autocar and Absolute Lotus magazine to gain industry insight. Since graduating in 2013, Matthew regularly writes for print and digital outlets including Forbes, Fleet World, The Drive, Classic Car Weekly, Commercial Motor, HeyCar, and EVPowered. Likewise, he often travels worldwide to test cars of all shapes and sizes, and is also known to natter about vans, trucks, and electric bikes.
