Having grown up with a family who owned a motorcycle shop, Mike has always been around motor vehicles, so after working as a Qualified Accountant in Wellington, London and the Caribbean, it’s not surprising that when the opportunity to get involved in the family car business arose back in 2001 the suit and tie was traded in. Mike loves the industry and over the past 18 years has been involved in selling both new and used vehicles plus managing a full workshop. Mike can genuinely say there is never a dull day in the car industry! Mike and his father have been looking after people in the bay for 30 years so if you are after honest and friendly advice, let Mike help you chose your next great ride!
