Andy joined the team at Winslow Ford in November 2016. With over 30 years' experience within the Ford industry we are lucky to have Andy on board. In his free-time Andy enjoys riding his motorcycle and used to be involved with motorsport for many years but is now an avid spectator.
Dan joined Winslow Ford in 2002 and has always worked within the motor industry as a technician. Dan's training with the company includes having an air conditioning licence and being accredited to apply the specialist AutoGlym Lifeshine Treatment. Dan enjoys attending car shows in his spare time and particularly likes going to events at Santa Pod. He enjoys gardening in his free time and I think all staff would agree that he is our resident comedian, always able to brighten any day.

Matthew (or Colin as we know him at work) is the baby of our team. He initially joined us on work experience whilst at college, but we were so impressed by his interest and willingness to learn that he was offered a full Ford Apprenticeship and has recently qualified as a Ford Technician. Outside of work Matthew enjoys going to car shows, going on walks with his puppy Bella and has a love of nature. He has fitted in well with the team.

Tony joined Winslow Ford on a work experience placement in 1995 in the workshop and then went onto complete an apprenticeship and qualify.

He has built up a loyal customer base with many renewing their vehicles year on year with him. Tony is currently taking his private pilots licence....watch this space for when he's qualified.
