John Challen

Commercial Vehicle Account Director

John has been writing about commercial vehicles for more than 20 years, covering the big stories from the industry. In that time, he has edited a number of publications such as Transport Engineer, CV Driver and DAF Driver magazine and contributed to almost every major truck title on the market. He also brings extensive experience of writing anything from a short press release to the press pack of a brand new vehicle – and everything else in between. 


Over the past two decades, John has spoken with and interviewed CEOs of major manufacturers and suppliers and has also connected with others in a wide range of roles including engineering, marketing, sales and product development.

In addition to this new role handling commercial vehicle communications, John will still be active in the world of car journalism, not least as editor of UK Driver magazine and co-chairman of the UK Car of the Year Awards.
