Managing Director

I have been MD since 2018 but part of the business since my parents started it in 1981. I wouldn’t consider myself a traditional MD but love getting involved with multiple projects from design, website, marketing and our social media.

My main passion though is for all thing interiors and equestrian which I hope to be able to incorporate into the business in the future. I also love spending time in the Lake Districts walking and kayaking with my two daughters and husband.

I joined Specialised in 2018 having known Katie for many years, she felt my skill set were what she needed to move the business forward. I come from a commercially results driven back-ground from my time within the competitive FMCG & retail industry. I take great pride in being part of, as well as managing, motivating, training & empowering a successful & productive team to deliver results. Passionate about growth be it with the business or me so always pushing myself with some physical challenge & planning an adventure.

In October 2024 I had the opportunity to further my career with Specialised Covers. I’d worked with Katie in a previous role and jumped at the chance to join a company with such a heritage, especially one that is known as the authority in car and leisure vehicle protective covers.
My background is leading teams and providing sales solutions throughout the car industry,  latterly working with prestigious brand names in the retail sector. My drive is borne from finding new projects and discovering new sectors in which to scale our products and process, from car, leisure and outdoor covers to all types of custom design, cut & sew industry needs. Outside of work I love the countryside, particularly unearthing new walking routes in and around Yorkshire with my family.

I joined the Sales team at Specialised Covers after spending many years is in the Fashion Retail sector. Katie had met my dad at her daughters motorbike lesson where he is an instructor and thought we should chat ! With a love for anything that has an engine it’s pleasure to be surrounded by so many likeminded people and having the opportunity to work on so many diverse and exciting projects. I look forward to developing and nurturing all customer relationships to provide an outstanding service that we here at Specialised Covers pride ourselves on.

I have recently joined the Specialised Covers Team having worked in Customer Service & Administration functions within both the banking and manufacturing industries. I hope to put my experience to good use helping and guiding our customers to find the ideal product for their much-loved vehicles whether that be a car, caravan, motorhome or motorbike. I am enjoying the challenge of gaining new knowledge in all these areas whilst hopefully contributing to the success of our team

I joined Specialised Covers last year after working within customer facing roles and customer account management. I can say I knew very little about cars, caravans and motorbikes when I first joined but with the help and support of everyone here, I have learnt so much and look forward to expanding my knowledge further and providing our customers with the best service.

Business Development Manager

I joined Specialised back in 2014 following completion of my degree in Fashion Design. Managing the Design Team here is a real passion project for me – Not only do we have an incredibly talented and supportive team, but a rare opportunity to marry traditional tailoring techniques with digital design. Together with a personal love for beautiful cars, the varied workload and wonderful clients is what this job is all about. Is it really work if you’re having fun? If there’s one thing I’ve learnt about working at Specialised Covers – It’s to expect the unexpected!

I joined the Specialised Covers family in 2019. I came from a pattern cutting and tailoring background, following my diploma and degree in Fashion and Textiles.

One of my favourite things about Specialised is that there is always a new and exciting project coming our way. It could be a contract for a beautiful unreleased super car, or a weird and wonderful one-off request.

No two days are the same here and I love it. The team is creative, vibrant, and wonderful at problem solving, they make it even more of a great place to be.

I started my Specialised Covers journey in 2014, working across multiple departments, including both Sales and Cutting, before joining Design in 2019. As a car enthusiast, I bring a wealth of automotive knowledge and a lot of personality to the team! I am honoured to have followed in my uncle’s footsteps, who started the business 40 years ago, and to now have the pleasure of travelling across the globe to prestigious automotive manufacturers and seeing things many people would only dream of. If you want to talk cars – I’m your guy.

I joined as Web & Content Manager at Specialised Covers in June 2023. With a background in marketing and content creation in the automotive sector, I have a strong passion for photography and videography.

I’ve had the honour of photographing bespoke cars in the past and now enjoy photographing them with cover’s on! I really enjoy documenting the processes that happen behind the scenes here at Specialised Covers all the way through to the final products. The eclectic mix of products, from one-of-one car covers to caravan photoshoots in the countryside mean’s that there is never a dull day.
