George Barrow is a leading commercial vehicle journalist, specialising in vans and pick-up trucks. He has more than 15 years of experience covering light commercial vehicles and has received a number of awards for his work.
George has also been on the jury for International Van of the Year and the International Pick-Up Award since 2016, as the only judge representing the UK.
His journalistic career began as a reporter for Autocar before moving to Wired UK covering the tech sector. He joined leading truck and van title Commercial Motor in 2010, working across various titles in the publisher’s portfolio, editing Van Fleet Management and launched the interactive Van Advisor magazine and website.
He embarked upon a freelance career covering light commercial vehicles in 2018 as a contributing editor to What Van and as the Van Man columnist in The Sun newspaper.
He’s driven every new van and pick-up truck of the last two decades, and many others besides. He’s also provided commentary for TV and radio on the subject of commercial vehicles.
His work has appeared in numerous titles including Autocar, Commercial Motor, Electrifying, Farmer’s Weekly, Freight Carbon Zero, GQ, Motor Transport, Pistonheads, Professional Builder, The Landscaper, Van Fleet World, Van User, What Car and many, many more.
An extensive and experienced traveller, he can often be found in the airport on the way to review a new van or to interview a senior automotive executive.
George has also worked as a consultant to several OEMs and investors, providing market insight and his extensive expertise of the UK and global van market.
George says: “I love commercial vehicles and the industry, and if that sounds odd it probably is, but you'd be amazed at how often people want to talk to me about vans. Ok, it's not how I want to spend my Saturday night but I've lost track of how many times someone has stopped me in a supermarket car park, at a builders merchants or just wound down their window in traffic to talk to me about the brand new van I'm driving. Without fail I'll tell them everything I can about it, until they drive off wishing they'd never asked in the first place.
“Hopefully you'll find my insight a bit more interesting, and with some luck it will help you with your next van buying decision. I want you to take something valuable away from what you read here, and would love to know if what you're reading has been of help.”
