Revilo Automotive | National Car Buying

It’s our Brand Specialists that make us special

We don't buy every car, but we do buy the best!

We’ve said that Revilo Automotive is special. Here’s the main reason why. Our Brand Specialists

In a nutshell, what Revilo Brand Specialists don’t know about the brands and cars they specialise in is not worth knowing. They’re like a walking A-Z of the marque. If your car is a limited edition that makes it more sought after, they’ll know it. If you’ve added touches like a Sunroof, Double spoke alloy wheels, satellite navigation, they’ll be aware of how it enhances the value. Colour can have a big influence on a vehicle’s value too. In short, valuing a car is far from a black and white issue! There’s another factor that makes our Brand Specialists special. You can talk to them. Our customers find that chatting with real people makes such a refreshing change from dealing with a computer. As well as automotive experts, they’re all ‘people people’. Reason why some customers still seek their advice long after they’ve sold their car. Now, time to meet the team …

Joe Greenwood

Joe has spent all his working life in the Automotive Sector. His previous appointment with Sytner Group spanned 14 years and culminated him being appointed as Group Buyer. Joe is a typical ‘petrol head’ and passionate about all things car related and is also an enthusiast of older, rare cars.
With his finger, constantly on the pulse of the market and the ups and downs of vehicle pricing, Joe has been able to lead the team into consistently offering more than other vehicle valuation platforms which is a key aim of the business along with offering the highest levels of client service. Joe points out “The motor trade is in my blood, I was the boy at school who would be reading the WhatCar magazine. If only I had spent as much time on my school work!”

Out of work, Joe enjoys being a Dad to his two small children and husband to his wife and childhood sweetheart, Melanie, having been in a relationship for over 17 years. Joe and Melanie also own a successful Play Gym, so business and client service are very much integral to their philosophy on life.

Julian Simms

Julian is our newest member of the team but don’t let that fool you, Julian or “Simo” to his friends has over 28 years Motor Trade experience with brands such as BMW, Mercedes Benz, Audi, Jaguar and Porsche. Fresh out of school, he sold his first car aged 17 as a trainee salesman... 3 months before he had a full driving licence! From a very early age, Julian has demonstrated a keen passion for performance vehicles, with his first love, a Porsche 911 Turbo draped in the Martini racing livery. His love for the brand is just as strong today and extends into a real focus on the rare and unique features of exceptional motor vehicles. As his experience led him into the premium automotive sector, his time with Mercedes-Benz still curses through his veins with the 190E cosworth a firm favourite. As a brand specialist, who else better to provide a view on your current pride of joy, then one of the experts.

Out of work Julian enjoys music and keeping active, with his most recent hobby turning his fingers green. “At the end of the day, You cannot buy happiness, but you can buy cars, and that’s kind of the same thing."

Mark McKay

Before Revilo, Mark was in sales for both Land Rover and BMW for over 13 years. Overwhelmingly, he finds that owners at this end of the market appreciate the added value that he brings to the table as a Brand Specialist. After all, how can a computer know that, say, a BMW convertible is particularly valuable in the spring? Or that a car’s colour can add £000’s to its value? Or that a 4X4 like a Range Rover comes into its own in the winter? It takes serious time in the industry to know what really matters.

And when Mark’s not busy buying cars? ‘More often than not I’m casting a fly on a river in search of trout. Although funnily enough, fly fishing is not all that different to buying premium cars. Both need exceptional knowledge and attention to detail. And whether it’s a salmon or a Series 7, it’s nice to be dealing with the premium end of the market!’

Craig Kilmartin

Craig has extensive experience with the Jaguar and Audi marques with over 12 years with Audi – both salesman and sales manager - there’s precious little he can’t tell you about either brand. Craig always enjoys talking to customers, and savours their delight when they see that he’s genuinely interested in their car.
In fact, he enjoys his work even more than his hobby – collecting vinyl 45s and LP’s. Craig states:
In this digital age, I’m delighted something like vinyl is making a comeback. As they say, fashion is temporary, style is permanent – just like classic car marques, really!’

Gareth Oldreive

As Logistics Manager, Gareth plays a key role at Revilo Automotive. As you’d expect, Gareth carries out a whole range of important duties to keep our business up and running. However, perhaps the key is customer liaison. Once our brand specialists and buyers have agreed to purchase a vehicle, Gareth is the man you’ll be talking to in order to make it all happen. He will discuss logistics, timings and ensure that the process is as seamless as possible.

Clearly, Gareth is a busy man. But that’s not to say it’s all work and no play. Far from it! When he’s not spinning the wheels of business Gareth is busy spinning discs for the DJ enterprise he runs with our Jaguar man Craig Kilmartin. And when he’s not doing that? Gareth is into drift racing! In fact, he’s even building his own car. Busy man!

Neil Quirk

Having worked in the car industry since 2002 and been lucky enough to work with some fantastic brands such as Porsche, Audi, BMW, Landrover and my very first job Honda. I have enjoyed working in the premium sector and meeting lots of interesting people and celebrities on the way.

Out of work I love spending time with the family with having 2 young sons which keeps me and my wife busy on the weekends but wouldn't change it for the world. I have a love of football playing and watching my favourite club Manchester City although some might say that is torture rather than enjoyment!
