Meet our team

Gary Phipps - Managing Director
Having been in the industry for over 30 years, Gary offers a wealth of knowledge and skills to the used car trade. He has a passion for serving people and creating lasting memories. Gary is your go-to guy for sourcing, buying, or selling your dream car. Beyond the wheels and deals, Gary takes the driver's seat in the marketing and administration side of the business. From crafting compelling advertisements to managing stock and crunching prices, he's the engine behind the scenes, ensuring everything runs like a well-oiled machine.

When he's not immersed in the fast-paced world of cars, Gary enjoys the slow lane of life, hopping on his bike for the occasional ride, tinkering with new home projects, and indulging in long naps on the sofa. With Gary at the helm, you can trust that your new car journey will not only be expertly navigated but also sprinkled with a touch of laid-back charm.

Rebecca Phipps - Operations Director
Meet Rebecca, our seasoned veteran in the motor industry with an impressive track record spanning over a decade. Her love story began on the showroom floor, where she not only found the love of her life, a Black Defender 90 TD5 XS with tinted windows and sidesteps but also, Gary. With a steadfast belief in matching the perfect car to its rightful owner, Rebecca is dedicated to tailoring every experience to meet individual requirements, even if it means sacrificing a day off.

As our go-to expert in sales, Rebecca doesn't just sell cars; she crafts personalized journeys for each customer, ensuring every visit to Staverton Garage is an unforgettable one. Beyond the buzz of the showroom, you'll find Rebecca immersed in the tranquillity of nature, tending to her garden, mucking out sheep, and letting her baking prowess shine. With a passion for both horsepower and flower power, Rebecca brings a unique blend of expertise and nurturing spirit to our team.

Thomas Phipps - Sales Executive
Introducing our newest addition to the dynamic world of automobiles, Thomas. Hailing from the realms of hospitality and recruitment, Thomas made the bold leap into the motor industry in January 2023, bringing with him a fresh perspective and a knack for creating memorable experiences. When he's not navigating the fast lanes of the business world, you can find Thomas sharing laughs and adventures with his sidekick, Louis - his adorable son and partner-in-crime.

Fuelling his passion for productivity (and indulging in a caffeine fix), Thomas is a self-proclaimed coffee aficionado. Don't be surprised if you catch him meticulously critiquing the office coffee machine (Gary) - he takes his brew seriously! Beyond the daily grind, Thomas unwinds by immersing himself in the captivating worlds of TV series, turning binge-watching into an art form.

With his infectious laughter and commitment to creating connections, Thomas is not just here to drive success in the motor industry; he's also here to steer the ship of camaraderie. Buckle up, team, because with Thomas on board, we're in for a ride filled with laughter, dedication, and maybe a few extra coffee breaks!

Charlie Phipps
Say hello to Charlie Phipps, our multitasking maestro who wears two hats at our dealership! By day, he's our in-house part-time valeter, ensuring every vehicle shines like a gem. But wait, there's more - Charlie is also our aspiring salesman in training, soaking up knowledge faster than you can rev an engine.

When he's not perfecting the art of vehicle detailing or honing his sales pitch, you might catch Charlie on the rugby field, recently making waves by earning a spot in the county team. Even on Saturdays, when others might be catching a breather, Charlie occasionally graces us with his presence, seamlessly balancing the rough and tumble of rugby with the finesse of car care. With a passion for both the pristine and the pitch, Charlie brings a unique blend of energy and dedication to the team. So, whether he's buffing a car to brilliance or strategizing his next sales move, Charlie is the driving force behind making your experience with us truly exceptional.
