Meet our sales team at Vines of Guildford
Job Role? Motorrad General Manager
When did you start working for Vines Motorrad? I’ve worked in the automotive industry since 2003. I first joined Vines Motorrad in 2012 and, after a short time with another manufacturer, returned to BMW Motorrad in 2019. Over the years, I’ve also worked with the BMW and MINI car brands at Vines in both Sales and Aftersales - but running the Motorrad business is by far the best job I’ve had in the motor trade!
Favourite BMW motorcycle? I own a BMW F 900 GS, which I take green laning - it’s an awesome machine and a lot of fun. I’m planning to take it on some adventures across Europe as soon as time allows.
Favourite non-BMW motorcycle? I previously owned a Yamaha Ténéré 700, which really got me into adventure off-roading. It was a great bike and I loved its simplicity.
Hobbies? I enjoy being outdoors - I don’t even have to be doing anything specific. Just being outside and visiting beautiful places does everything I need for my dopamine levels. (My picture shows me hiking a trail in Montenegro recently).
Favourite place you’ve ridden? I once rode up a volcano in Guatemala. The bike was terrible, the trails were unforgiving, and riding with a pillion made it nearly impossible - but it was an unforgettable experience in an incredible place to visit.
