Jake

Jake always knew he wanted to work in the motor trade, so when the chance came up to join Culloden Cars, it was a fairly easy decision.

Now part of the valeting and detailing team, he is right in the middle of the day-to-day work that keeps standards consistent. Because while one car done properly is one thing, doing it properly across every car, every day, is where it really counts.

And that’s what he’s part of.

His role is about the details. The bits that might not always be noticed individually, but definitely would be if they were missed. It’s about making sure every car that leaves looks the way customers expect it to, and the way the team expects it to.

At the same time, there’s no getting away from the fact he’s also working around cars he grew up admiring. And like a few others here, his taste is very specific. Very Japanese. Very R34.

He’s still waiting for the day one lands in stock.
