Meet the Team

John is the General Manager at Cara UK, and joined Cara in 2017. Previous to Cara he has worked in various sales and service roles in the motor trade in various new and used car dealerships, area manager with Lloyds Banking group in Northern Ireland and England, and 2 World Rally Championship teams based near Northampton. Married to Kay and living locally, they also have a dog Lola and a Grandson Caiden who makes sure there is never a dull moment. Away from work when Kay, Lola and Caiden allow John plays badminton, and is an avid motorsport fan. He has an impressive sim racing setup and takes part regularly in sim racing rally events with people from around the world.

Paul joined Cara early 2018, but soon became a key member having worked many years in the workshop of a local garage and working on his own and customer’s caravans and motorhomes. Outside of Cara, Paul enjoys his classic cars and attending car shows. These are his pride and joy and look amazing. In the summer, you may catch a glimpse of him in his Mk. 5 Sunbeam Alpine. Paul also enjoys as many weekends as possible away in his caravan, and as a former MOT tester is Cara’s resident mechanical expert.

Kay also joined in 2018 as Cara UK’s administrator after many years working in administration within the NHS. Married to John and living locally, she is also proud “Nanna” to Caiden as well as cleaning up after John and Lola, both at the office and home, so she definitely has her hands full there. After work Kay is a keen badminton player, and also likes to do Ceroc dancing when she has the time to fit it in. If being married to John is not enough for her to have to cope with, she also has 4 grandchildren and a dog, as well as keeping all the team here on their toes.

Kevin joined Cara late in 2023, but very quickly became a big part of the team, and slotted in as though he had been here for years. Kevin does all the vehicle handovers and takes great pride in ensuring that the site is presented at its best in between the handovers. Outside of Cara Kevin enjoys spending time with his family including his children and grandchildren. Kevin is also a keen caravaner and has been for many years, so he has a great knowledge and experience to share with you when he is handing over any vehicle so don’t be afraid of asking him any questions.

Caiden is John & Kay’s grandson. When he comes to stay with them at the weekend he often comes to Cara and helps his Nan, Grandad and Leah out when it’s really busy on a Saturday. When he isn’t helping the team at Cara or at school he loves playing football, and his team are in the local cup final later this year, so we’re all keeping our fingers crossed on that one. At Cara you’ll often see Caiden sorting parts out with his Nanna or helping Leah record some videos and photos.

Lola can be found most of the time in John’s office helping things run nice and smooth, that is when she is not asleep on her sofa. She is 11 years old but still thinks she is a puppy and is always happy to say hello to everyone who comes to Cara, especially if you have biscuits. She’s not spoilt at all, honestly…
