Will seems to be irresistibly drawn towards cars and writing. His dad and uncle are motoring journalists and the former a successful racing driver, so it was almost inevitable that a career in the motoring or motor sport sectors beckoned. Hisfirst job saw him working for clients Ford and Toyota at a London PR agency.

Following that he worked full time on projects for Honda, eventually taking on the Honda Formula Onewebsite as content editor, where he spent a number of years.

Will was heavily involved in the planning stages of TheChargingPoint.com and continues to run thesite day-to-day as managing editor. He's a fan of cars of all kinds and truly believes electric cars are now worth shouting about alongside their petrol and diesel counterparts.
