Paul Barker
Managing Editor
Paul has been working in motoring journalism since 2000 across consumer and business titles as well as freelancing for national newspapers, industry magazines and host of major publications.
He joined carwow in 2022 as Managing Editor, applying those two decades-plus of experience to help push carwow’s content to even greater heights. When not playing with words about cars, Paul pines for the Mk1 Mazda MX-5 that went to a new home (buy-back agreement is in place in case there’s ever anywhere to put it) in order to transform the garage into an office full of model cars (not toys - models).
Away from cars, two children and a season ticket at Brighton and Hove Albion dominate spare moments, along with cycling up and down big hills for fun when time and energy allows.
