Introducing the Lancaster Car Club team!

08 April 2024

Hello All,

We’ve had some developments on the Car Club team front which I am happy to share with you this month. We have some new members of the team, including myself, ahead of Paris’ departure in May for the exciting new challenge of maternity leave!

We wish her all the best and trust that the Car Club relationships are in good hands with Brian and me.

The team are keen to hear from all our clubs as we look to develop our partnerships and strengthen our offer to you. With this in mind, we will shortly be sending out a survey to all club partners where we are looking for your feedback to understand how we can support you better and to ensure we are focusing on fixing or developing the things which are important to you.

We had a brilliant first event as a team at the recent Resto show last month. It was great to start meeting some of the clubs in attendance and looking forward to meeting more over the next few weeks. Please feel free to reach out to us using the contacts below and we’ll be happy to answer any queries or setup a meeting.

Without further ado here are the team’s contact details and a very short bio:
