About Stingray RV
 |
Simon Leith Simon is Stingray RV's managing director and has been running the company for the past 5 years. He comes from a marketing background having successfully run a media company over the past 12 years. Simon's passion for American RVs started when he hired one in 2005 and saw a gap in the market for offering RV rentals and sales in a different way to any other dealer. With a wealth of experience in motorsport and keen eye for business, Simon has guided Stingray RV to Europe’s largest RV dealer in just a few years operating the largest dedicated RV showroom in Europe, as well as have showrooms in France, Holland, Sweden and Norway. He is just 42 years old and is married to Karen with 3 children, Ayrton (10), Byron (8) and ‘Princess’ Evie (18 months). |

Ian Goodrich Ian is Stingray RV's Operations Manager and has worked for the company for over 2 years. He is responsible for all drivers and vehicle movements for rentals and sales, and also for the running of the showroom, and the building generally. This year, Ian will be responsible for the deliveries and maintenance over 1,000 RVs across Europe with 20 drivers to 12 countries. A real ‘grafter’ and a dedicated asset to the company, his contribution is immeasurable, although his tea making skills are questionable !! But, to be fair, not as questionable as his singing skills. | ||

Lynne Trisic Lynne is Stingray RV’s full time Finance Manager, and boy does she have a job on her hands !! Lynne is also responsible for the company’s HR and training programme, which frankly, is a full time job on its own. Totally focussed on the best for the company and slightly ‘OCD’ on process and procedures, she is the ‘ying’ to the mostly ‘yang’ within Stingray RV...where would we be without her?. |

Nigel Pearson Nigel is now our main full time engineer and is one of those guys who always has a smile on his face, no matter what the day has in store, or how early/late it is.....our guys do some long hours. A relative new-comer to American RVs, he has turned his hand to this niche business in remarkable style and is now a key member of the team, with a great attitude and growing knowledge in our company. His ‘can do’ attitude is very ‘us’ ! |

Clive Barker Clive is Stingray RV's lead driver and has been with the company for the past 4 years. He was our first ever driver for the rental side of the business and has been responsible for some 'epic' trips across Europe and beyond. His knowledge of motorhomes is second to none and is extremely popular with all our clients. |

Gary Charlwood Gary is also our lead driver and is a retired successful business man having run a haulage company for 30 years based in Kent. He has been driving for the company for the past 3 years and has covered just about as many miles as Clive has. He is an integral part of the team, is very popular with all our customers, and has always got a smile on his face (well, most of the time!). |

Scott Weaving Scotty joined Stingray RV when they moved to Daventry and is Operation Assistant. He is a key member of the team and is very popular with all the staff and clients. At 21 years old, it is very rare to find someone as dedicated and hard working as Scotty. He is always prepared to work late or weekends, and particularly like the trips to Le Mans and other long-haul events !! He is a great addition to a very dedicated team. |
