Leading independent B2B publisher Fleet World Group is delighted to announce the appointment of experienced automotive journalist John Challen as the new editor of Fleet World magazine.
Taking over from outgoing editor Martyn Collins, John previously edited International Fleet World magazine, and brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the role, having been in automotive journalism for more than 20 years. Over those two decades, he has researched and written about a vast range of automotive topics, including fleet, EVs, engineering, design, retail and the aftermarket.
As well as drawing on his extensive motor knowledge for the new role, John will also utilise his strong background in networking. Attending international motor shows and industry events, he often talks with senior executives from fleet suppliers and vehicle manufacturers about current and future business trends. He also gets the opportunity to see and experience new cars when they are launched and talk to the people behind their development, design and engineering. In addition, John is a judge in the prestigious UK Car of the Year awards.
His knowledge and expertise will help deliver ever-higher standards of journalism and insight at Fleet World Group.
Fleet World, incorporating EV Fleet World, is a premium print and online business publication reflecting, influencing and informing the corporate fleet and mobility sector in the UK. Its circulation aims to reach every organisation in the UK with 10 vehicles or more and is specifically for director-level fleet decision-makers. As such, it offers an unparalleled editorial viewpoint on the key issues facing the fleet industry in the post-Covid era.
With the electric vehicle tipping point pretty much upon us, John will also oversee the new – pure electric- and hybrid-focused – EV Fleet World Digital magazine.
Published every other month, the interactive online magazine helps provide guidance on all areas of electric vehicles, from road tests of the cars and vans themselves to updates on all forthcoming vehicles. It also explores surrounding issues such as charging infrastructure and technology developments from the industry’s many suppliers, including case studies.
Fleet World Group’s portfolio also encompasses Van Fleet World, International Fleet World, The Fleet Show, The Great British Fleet Event & Awards and the WLTP Challenge.
John will be delighted to hear from you with your latest industry news, views, and products and can be contacted via [email protected].
