My motor trade experience stretches back more than thirty years, including ten years spent as Valuations Editor with UK used car trade price bible, Glass’s Guide, where I was the Editor of the famous Glass’s Guide to Older Cars & Modern Classics. I was also the Consumer Valuations Editor with Glass’s and created the original ‘We Buy Any Car’ valuation algorithms, which were later adopted by many car manufacturers.

Established as an independent valuations consultant since 2010, I’m relied on by lenders, insurers, car dealers and Trading Standards when they face litigation or end up in court. I also help solicitors who need valuations for divorce proceedings, civil disputes or other purposes.

I am regularly instructed as an Expert Witness/Single Joint Expert. 2022 cases included high net worth divorce cases, criminal cases around Proceeds of Crime, multiple classic car collections for divorce purposes including a collection of several high value replica classics and ex-Grand Prix racing motorcycles, diminution on crashed supercars (Ferrari FF, Porsche 911 etc), two unrelated McLaren Spider cases for litigation around fitness for purpose, a number of disputed insurance write-off cases, a case of three sub-standard Chinese sandwich vans and many other interesting valuation exercises. The vehicles I report on are not all high value: I work right across the board.

Along with working for the legal community and the courts, my valuation practice encompasses private insurance and probate valuations on a network of specialist car and motorcycle websites. The next case is unpredictable and that is one of the most enjoyable things about my work!
