Mark is a journalist with more than a decade of top-level experience in the automotive industry. He first joined Autocar in 2009, having previously worked in local newspapers. He has held several roles at Autocar, including news editor, deputy editor, digital editor and his current position of editor, one he has held since 2017.
From this position he oversees all of Autocar’s content across the print magazine, autocar.co.uk website, social media, video, and podcast channels, as well as our recent launch, Autocar Business. Mark regularly interviews the very top global executives in the automotive industry, telling their stories and holding them to account, meeting them at shows and events around the world.
Mark is a Car of the Year juror, a prestigious annual award that Autocar is one of the main sponsors of. He has made media appearances on the likes of the BBC, and contributed to titles including What Car?, Move Electric and Pistonheads, and also writes a regular column for The Sun.
He graduated from Norton College in Sheffield in 2008 with an NCTJ journalism qualification.
Steve Cropley has been testing cars and writing about it for 48 years, more than half that time as editor-in-chief of Autocar. He began working in journalism in Australia in 1967, joined the staff of Sydney-based Wheels magazine in 1973, moved to the UK in 1978 to join the staff of CAR magazine, and was editor between 1981 to 1988, during which time CAR became Britain’s best-selling car magazine.
In 1989 he launched his own magazine, Buying Cars, bought two years later by Haymarket Media Group, who used its contributors and content to augment their existing titles What Car? and Autocar. He has worked “very happily” at Haymarket ever since. His Autocar column “A week in cars” has been a prominent part of Autocar for nearly 30 years.
In 2005 Cropley helped found the world’s first postgraduate course in automotive journalism at Coventry University, where was made a visiting professor. He is a Trustee of the British Motor Museum, Gaydon. Since 2005 he has organised and chaired a series of technical panel debates for the Institution of Mechanical Engineers and in 2013 was made a Companion of the Institution.
Cropley claims he remains as keen on cars - and the industry that creates them - as he was on day one.
