Stuart Kilvington – Acquisitions, Preparation and Sales
Stuart spends most of his life attached to a hands free kit , racing around the countryside seeking out new vehicles for us to market. He builds close working relationships with our suppliers and marque specialists. Before founding the company with Simeon, he worked as a buyer for a large BMW chain and has an almost forensic eye when it comes to checking out classic cars. He has a particular love for old Citroens and air-cooled VWs but has to admit that the longer he is involved with Eclectic the more expensive his tastes get!

Simeon Cattle – Sales, Marketing and Brand Development
Simeon is almost always at Eclectic HQ and as the second director is mainly charged with making sure that our stock is marketed and the website content is up to date. He started working with classic and racing cars at Chevron Cars in Dorset, after leaving school. In his early twenties he moved into sales. Like Stuart, he spent seven years working in the BMW dealer network before deciding to get back to his first love, classic cars.

Sid Smith – Website Development – Admin and Logistics
As a long time friend it was a very happy day when Sid joined us at Eclectic HQ. He has spent many years working in main dealers organising and preparing their used car stock to a very high standard. He checks through the histories of our vehicles, gets them from one site to another and makes sure the invoices end up paid! He also develops our website, our downloads page and keeps our facebook page up to date. All in all he is pretty busy!

Richard Percival – Acquisitions and Events
Over the last year Richard has spent more and more time at Eclectic Cars until all of a sudden we realised we had a new member of staff! He has owned and run a number of businesses over the years and with a passion for classic cars he helps Stuart source new stock. He is too cool for an Eclectic polo shirt, so he also doubles as our undercover agent in the field!
