Teesside’s Bespoke Motor Works are celebrating a decade in the sports, luxury and prestige motor trade – putting the customer at the heart of everything they do.

Bespoke Motor Works are celebrating ten years’ trading this summer, and in that time, they’ve built up quite a reputation – for all sorts of reasons.

First, there’s the extensive array of prestige cars they offer. From fewer than ten preowned cars in stock when the business was set up, they now stock between 50 and 60 cars, and can source virtually any car, new or used, for their loyal customers.

Then there’s the growing range of services they offer, from sourcing cars to maintaining them in their workshop to valeting, detailing and making sure vehicles leave their showroom looking immaculate.

But just as important as the marque and mileage of their carefully sourced stock is the expertise of the welcoming – and growing – team, who now count some of their customers as friends.

The owners and directors of Bespoke Motor Works are Daniel King and Russell Jackson, who founded the business back in 2014 after spending more than 20 years between them at Cooper BMW Teesside and Durham.

“Although our passion for cars remained the same, we became increasingly disillusioned working within a national corporation,” says Dan. “One of the things we are especially proud of now is the way we are directly involved with every customer. We have many repeat customers, some on their seventh and eighth cars from us, due to our friendly, hassle-free approach and our knowledge of what car is best to suit your needs.”

The main manufacturers we are known for include Audi, BMW – the company is now a BMW financial services partner – Jaguar, Land Rover, Mini, Mercedes, Porsche and VW, but the team are just as happy to source a suitable first car for a customer’s son or daughter.

“We buy in cars that have been privately-owned and do not go down the auction route, so we can be sure of their history,” says Dan. “We do all the background checks and make sure the car has been properly maintained so our customers can have confidence in their purchase and peace of mind. The cars are then fully prepared on site, ready for handover”.

Their reputation for finding customers the perfect car is such that people travel from all over the UK to buy from Bespoke Motors, from the Highlands, Ireland, Wales and the South coast. And many return when they want a replacement.

“We appreciate that buying a car can often be a long and stressful process, but we aim to make it smooth and enjoyable and offer a pressure-free approach to selling,” says Russ. “Ultimately, it has to be right for the customer. If you are looking for an affordable prestige car then our exceptional knowledge of the motor industry can help you to purchase your dream car for a much fairer price.”

It’s been an eventful, and successful, first decade for Bespoke Motor Works - on the home front too.

“Russ has married Andrea, and they now have a six-year-old boy called Parker who is into tennis, BMX and quads,” says Dan. “And Steph and I have Albert, who will be three soon. He loves anything with four wheels so I’m hoping he will come in and give us a hand when he gets older!”

Customer Review

‘What a great experience leasing my new car through Dan! I am from the North West and it was well worth the 270-mile round trip to complete things with the guys sorting my phone, the sat nav and demonstrating anything else. Bespoke took my old car off me for a very fair price and the whole thing was seamless. I had never leased a car before, and Dan explained everything to me with no surprises.’ Dan, Russ and the Bespoke Motor Works ‘family’
