I’m The Brown Car Guy – a multi-media journalist and content creator. I’ve been writing about cars and creating content for well over three decades across the UK, Middle East and South Asia, with a track record of success in the areas of print, digital, broadcast, video and TV. I’ve worked as a journalist, editor, presenter, broadcaster, and Editorial Director (at ITP in Dubai, where I was heading up men’s luxury and lifestyle magazines).

British-born, after more than a decade in Dubai, I relocated back home to London at the beginning of 2019.

Presently freelancing and creating content for my own channel – BrownCarGuy and contributing to organisations such as The British Motor Show, The London EV Show, EVLife.ae, MotorEasy.com, Asian Leader newspaper, The Drivers Union, Best Cars of the Year, FreeCarMag.com, The National Abu Dhabi, Motoring Middle East and others.

With 80% of my career having been devoted to covering Automotive, I hosted The Autocrats, a car show on FOX MENA region TV channels, and co-founded and ran Motoring Middle East, a digital automotive news and reviews media outlet.

I co-presented a weekly automotive show on Dubai Eye Radio, the UAE’s leading talk radio station. I’ve also run and hosted live events, including a daily panel show at two editions of the Dubai International Motor Show.

Prior to this I was Editor of the Middle East edition of CAR Magazine, was News Editor at UK-based Automotive Research Firm JATO Dynamics, was Deputy Editor during the reinvention of Used Car Buyer magazine in 2004 and Editor of Parkers.co.uk website in 1999 which I launched.

I started my career as ‘Saudi Arabia’s first motoring journalist’ back in 1989, writing first for the Saudi Gazette and then the Arab News.

An innovator and early-adopter, I always try to bring a unique blend of enthusiasm, passion and dedication to every endeavour I undertake.
