Richard is the founder and driving force behind First4car.com, which he launched over 23 years ago. With a passion for perfection and a ‘can-do’ attitude, he has grown the business from the ground up, guiding it from strength to strength.
Far from being a desk-bound director, Richard is hands-on in every sense. Whether it's lending a hand in the workshop, vacuuming the showroom, or tackling any task that needs doing, he's always ready to pitch in. His dedication is unmatched – some might even call him a workaholic (and they’d probably be right!).
Despite his tireless work ethic, Richard always makes time for what matters most – his family. His energy seems endless, and his commitment to both his team and customers continues to be a key part of what makes First4car special.
