Meet the Team

Tony

Tony

I have been working in the motor industry for over 30 years, for Porsche, Audi & Land Rover dealerships, before starting Bournemouth LR Ltd. I am a level 4 master technician and specialise in electrical faults, the more wires the better as far as I am concerned! In my spare time I enjoy walking the dogs and helping our son with his various and many car projects. Daily Drive - Ford Ranger

Lorna

Lorna

Coming from a background in marketing and sales, I never thought I’d ever be running a garage! I had always enjoyed off roading in our beloved Defender (Huff) and been an active member of the local off road scene. I love what I do, and every day is different and brings new challenges. In my spare time I love to walk and explore our local area. Daily Drive - S2000.

Kris

Kris

I’m actually the longest serving member of the team other than Tony. With years of experience gained from a main dealer background I have all the valuable skills required to work on the ever-evolving Jaguar/Land Rover range of cars. Outside of work, I’m generally found in out in the fresh air in Poole harbour on my jet ski which is something I massively enjoy. Daily Drive - Freelander 2.

Katie

Katie

Katie comes to us with a wealth of customer service experience after working in the hospitality industry in the Cayman Islands.  Joining BLR as our service advisor, was a complete change of career for her, but Katie's  hospitality and customer care skills shine through. Daily Drive - Mini Cooper 

Kris

James

James started with us for a work experience placement in 2019 and then joined us as our apprentice and he’s never left. With a genuine love of all things Land Rover, he is a fantastic resource for anything early Defender/Discovery. Quite often he can be found hacking around the local green lanes, or repairing his own car. Daily Drive - Discovery 2.

Alan

Alan

Alan has joined us as our workshop controller after a 25 year career at a main dealer in the area.  He brings experience and calm to our busy lives and keeps the workshop in order.  Daily drive - synch e-bike.

Fin

Fin

It was inevitable that Fin, as the son of Tony and Lorna was going to join the family business. Fin is now a fully qualified technician and has a love for all older cars already having a collection of old rust buckets already, according to Lorna!  Daily drive - Volvo 940 estate, modified! 

Oscar

Oscar

Our latest automotive apprentice, Oscar has a keen interest in anything with an engine and is looking forward to developing his skills.  He spends his spare time in the gym. No daily drive just yet.

WILL YOU JUST THROW THE BALL!!!!

My favourite thing is going out with my humans and chasing as many pheasants as possible.

I like to spend my time lounging around in the sun, eating and barking at absolutely nothing for no apparent reason whatsoever.
