About Us

The Midland Group of Motoring Writers is the regional home for automotive journalists, editors and content creators working in or for the Midlands. Founded in 1989, we've been connecting motoring media professionals with the industry for over three decades.

Who We Are

The MGMW is a membership organisation for automotive editorial content creators who live or work in the Midlands, or who produce content for Midlands-based media. We welcome writers, editors, bloggers, vloggers, podcasters and other automotive media professionals across the region.

The Group organises events for members and liaises with the UK motor industry on car launches and press matters.

Our Mission

Our mission is to help members carry out their work to the highest standard, and to improve communications between the automotive media and the motor industry.

We do this by organising events, facilitating industry access and maintaining strong relationships with vehicle manufacturers, PR teams and national media organisations.

Our Vision

The motoring landscape has changed dramatically since our formation in 1989. Digital media, electric vehicles and new content formats have transformed both the industry we cover and the way we cover it.

Our vision is to remain the essential regional network for automotive media professionals, adapting to the changing media environment while continuing to champion quality, original, objective motoring journalism in all its forms.
