Title: Deputy digital editor

Tom started his career writing about smartphones, TVs and all things electronic, while gradually adding motoring to his repertoire and making the switch to full-time automotive in 2018. A background in tech naturally makes electric and autonomous cars big areas of interest, but he's equally at home with a naturally aspirated petrol V8.
