His interests are the fascinating heritage of Britain, classic cars and music. Michael will be sure to entertain you with many a tale during your journey... if you can stay awake!
Andy
Andy hails from a military family and was privately educated at Hereford Cathedral School.
He attained the Royal School of Music grade eight in both Piano and Trombone by the time he was 16.
He was accepted into The Sandhurst Military Academy. He later joined the Thames Valley Police in Royal Berkshire as divisional Motorcyclist which is where he became an Advanced Class 1 Police driver on motorcycles and cars. He then became the Franchise Manager in South Kensington for the HR Owen premier dealership supplying Rolls Royce, Bentley, Lamborghini and Land Rover. It was during this period that he met Michael and was invited to join the team at British Heritage Bespoke Tours.
Andy has always loved the written word and has almost completed his first novel. Watch this space!
Ian
Being a passionate car enthusiast it was inevitable that Ian should turn to the motor industry to pursue his career and he spent thirty years in a variety of sales and management positions, predominantly with Mercedes-Benz. During his later years with Mercedes he took responsibility for the UK sales of their two flagship models; the Maybach and the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren. He received Maybach driver training in Germany, and SLR McLaren training at the SLR Driving Academy situated at the Paul Ricard High Tech Test Track in the South of France. His position required him to be the conduit between Mercedes-Benz and an elite clientele including ambassadors and heads of state. Being a frequent traveller to Spain Ian studied the language and can speak fluent Spanish. Olé!
