As head of digital content, Steve looks after the Auto Express, Carbuyer, evo and DrivingElectric websites. That means planning new content, growing online traffic and managing the web teams. He’s been a motoring journalist, road tester and editor for over 20 years, contributing to a series of leading print and digital titles over that time including MSN Cars, Auto Trader, The Scotsman and The Wall Street Journal.

Steve says…

“Right now is a great time to be writing and creating content about cars. We’ve seen a lot of huge changes in the industry and there are more to come, so keeping Auto Express readers informed while helping them make the best possible car buying decisions is a challenge and a real pleasure.”

Steve Walker Q&A

Q: What was your first car?

A: "It was a white Citroen AX in the ultra-basic Debut spec - body-coloured interior, manual choke, radio cassette, that was about it as far as the equipment list went. The simplicity of it probably helped but it was quite a reliable car and the 1.0-litre engine didn’t mind being worked hard."

Q: What is your dream car? 

A: "Always a difficult question. If we’re sticking within the realms of possibility, i’d love a BMW 535d Touring. If it’s money no object, how about a Ferrari F12 TDF?"

Q: If you could change one thing about cars, driving or the car industry today what would it be?

A: "Almost nothing annoys me more than dodgy lane discipline on motorways but the main one is that i’d like to see legislators do more to encourage lighter, more efficient cars - they’re getting too big and heavy. "
