Author Graham Heeps

Twenty years ago, Graham said goodbye to a first career as an IT consultant to pursue lifelong interests in cars and writing. He spent more than a decade editing vehicle engineering and motorsports magazines in his native UK before going freelance and moving to Calgary, AB in 2015. Graham writes for consumer and business media including Autocar, Automotive Testing Technology International and TractionLife.com. He’s a member of the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC) and chairs the jury for its annual Innovation Awards. He’s also written a race-car book for children. In his spare time, Graham blogs about toy cars for the Lamley Group (he has a collection of 5,000 models), posts about them on Instagram and co-organizes the biannual Calgary Toy Show & Sale. He’s also a Scout leader and loves watching soccer, dreaming of the day when his hometown team, Portsmouth, makes it back to the Premier League.
