Meet our team
We are a family run business with a passion for quality cars and excellent customer service. With a range of skills and combined experience in excess of 80 years, we are trying to dispel the usual way that car dealers are perceived to do business and bring integrity to all work we do.
Combining knowledge and enthusiasm, our Team will go that extra mile to make your experience of buying a car from us a positive one. All our Staff have passion, honesty and a drive to offer an exceptional level of customer service.
Find out a bit more about us here or come in and meet us in person; we would love to help you and offer you the 1BR experience.
Matt joined the business in 2003 and started work in the Motor Trade in 2000 as Car Sales Executive with a local Main Franchise Dealer.
Whilst a key part of the Sales Team, Matt is our principle Buyer, sourcing cars from all over the country that meet our high standards - low mileage, high specification prestige and performance cars. His knowledge and experience ensures that we always have a wide range of quality cars available; he will even source specifically for you if you can't find what you are looking for.
Matt loves cars but especially vintage classics and you can usually find one or two amongst our stock as a result. He is an avid Formula One fan and is the driving force behind our sponsorship of the Ginetta Race Team, always wanting to encourage others to follow their dreams too.

Outside of work he has a passion for Motorsport and is a long term Member of the Goodwood Road and Racing Club (GRRC). He has a keen interest in Formula One and also enjoys spending time in the countryside with his young family.

Mart has spent all of his career in the Motor Trade with a BMW Group; his last role before joining us being with the Corporate Team.
Mart's focus is in the Sales field and his emphasis is always on offering unrivalled customer service to all customers. Whilst a lot of his experience is with BMW he has a very broad knowledge of all of our stock.

Paul started working in the Motor Trade in 1971 as a Rolls Royce Apprentice Technician and then progressed through to Service Management with both Major Motor Franchise Dealers and Motorbike specialists. He started his own business in 1997 and moved to part of the current site four years later; the forerunner to what is 1BR today.
Stepping back a bit from the frontline of the business, he still puts his mechanical and technical knowledge to good use.
Paul has a passion for Motorsport in general and for Porsche in particular. He is an active Member of the Porsche Owners Club of GB and attends their events on a regular basis.
Aidy has been working in car preparation for nearly 20 years; working with a variety of both Main Dealers and smaller businesses.
He is passionate about what he does and still takes great pride in seeing the transformation in a car as it goes through the valeting and detailing process. Although he enjoys all aspects of his work, his greatest skill is in machine polishing for both paint correction and deep shine finish.
Aidy really loves being part of the 1BR Team, having joined in 2017 and outside of work Aidy enjoys exploring the country with his family and his caravan.
Joey has over 11 years experience of car preparation working with many of the main franchises in that time. He joined 1BR in 2012 and loves the difference that he makes as part of the 1BR Team: 'making something used look better than brand new'.
His particular skill is working on the interiors of a vehicle - it's more than just hoovering and polishing, it's attention to detail with every aspect of the car.
Outside of work, Joey's passion is for the Gym and Boxing (more spectating than participating these days!).
