I started my career at Aston Martin. I wasn't working on the modern cars though, my experience was in the Heritage Division of Aston’s in Newport Pagnell, working with all the vintage models. Starting as an apprentice at the age of 16, I learned all aspects of restoration and maintenance of these classic sports cars over the years. As you can imagine, only the best will do at Aston’s so my background is cemented in that philosophy; whatever the task, the end result has to be perfect.
Eventually I moved on from Aston Martin and built a career as a freelance specialist working for various classic car dealerships. Throughout this period I had been riding and building motorbikes in my spare time. I now have my own workshop in Hanslope, just outside Milton Keynes, where I spend my days building custom motorcycles whilst also providing a more general service to local bikers. I don't build bikes speculatively and then try to sell them, my custom builds are commissions – produced in partnership with the client. I build each bike to a client's specifications and needs – although some give me free reign to create something 'special'. Whichever route I take you can be assured that the outcome will be a hand-crafted one of a kind. |
