I’m happy to announce that from January, I will be starting a new editorial role that will keep the lights on at home, but still have capacity for other work.
I’m excited to apply my expertise in this new chapter and look forward to sharing more details soon! 4/4

I dedicated much of the last few months to researching and writing a book on the fascinating history of the company car. This project kept me engaged and reminded me of my core strengths and interests. 3/4

You imagine that almost 30 years of experience and reputation ought to be enough to secure something else, but that nagging self-doubt always manages to creep in. While navigating this transition, I leveraged the new skills and knowledge I built over the past four years in my previous role. 2/4

In the UK, some fleet customers of rental companies complain about damage recharges, which they are required to pay, and then rent the same vehicle weeks later and see the damage hasn’t been repaired. Rental company takes the money and the value hit.
