Robin joined the automotive industry straight from college as a trainee with Brown Brothers (Dana Corporation). After a brief spell with Unipart in their motor factoring and automotive retail operations, Robin then joined Champion in 1993 as Marketing Manager. He was also the General Manager of Champion UK until acquired by Federal Mogul in 1998 and the Managing Director of Federal-Mogul Aftermarket UK until end of 2007. Robin is currently the Divisional Director for Bosch Automotive Aftermarket.

"From my first year in the Automotive industry I became involved in raising money for BEN through the commitment from Brown Brothers, I had so much fun that it became a pleasure to continue. The longer, and more involved I became, the more I appreciated the fantastic work of BEN and wanted to help. An inspiration which is undiminished today.

I was honoured to be asked to become a Vice President in 2001 and then a Trustee in 2003."
