Now freelance, Richard Kilpatrick worked across several roles with us at Parkers and in Bauer’s Automotive team. We are a close-knit group here so has been able to get stuck into helping with buying guides, reviewing and road-testing cars, editing our newsletters, and more. They offer advice from their years of experience and a chance for you to learn from the mistakes they have made!Read more
Cars have been a lifelong obsession for Richard but these days his interests also include writing short stories, composing electronic music, and studying Mandarin, which may be more useful in the automotive industry than you might think.
