OUR TEAM

Victor: The Boss

Victor has years of experience in the motor trade and has a superb knowledge of the industry. He attributes the success of S McAfee & Son largely to the team around him and his strong emphasis on customer care. He still enjoys his stock car racing, where he likes to be known as the ‘young’ veteran.

​Nigel​

Nigel joined S McAfee & Son in July 2013 as a member of the sales team. He resembles, but is not related to, Victor. Nigel helps to keep us up to date with the newest technologies and enjoys studying computer programming in his spare time. He is always up for a laugh and tells the best stories.

​Paul

Paul has a magic touch when it comes to fixing cars. He has nearly 30 years experience in the industry and will soon be with the company for 25 years. Paul’s passion for engines is clear as it is also one of his biggest hobbies in the form of stock cars those engines won’t build themselves I guess.

​Davy

Davy has been in the motor trade for 35 years, former master Vauxhall technician, he joined S McAfee & Son in 1999. Davy is a famous whistler while he works and has one of the most contagious laughs to be heard. His hobbies include rally cars and shooting …….. ‘clay pigeons’.

​Roy

The helpful, cheery, Yorkshire man. Roy started as a member of the S McAfee & Son valet team in 2004. He also enjoys helping customers to pair mobile phones to cars and tune radios.
