AN AWARD FOR OUR PUBLISHING DIRECTOR

Evro’s Publishing Director, Mark Hughes, received the Royal Automobile Club’s Lifetime Achievement Award at the Club’s Pall Mall Clubhouse in London on the evening of 3 November. A former editor of Autosport and Classic & Sports Car, he was a long-time Editorial Director of the Books Division at Haynes Publishing and has edited more than 700 books during the course of his career. He joined Eric Verdon-Roe in setting up Evro Publishing eight years ago.

Simon Taylor, Chairman of the Judges, said: “I’ve known Mark for many years and his editorial skills and experience are second to none in the world of motoring publishing. Not only is he exceptionally good at his job, he carries it out in a calm and efficient manner, and has long been a reassuringly professional presence for authors and publishers alike.”
