He progressed through the ranks, ending up as a race team co-ordinator, looking after such famous riders as Carl Fogarty, Steve Hislop and Joey Dunlop. He left Honda in 1991 to join Yamaha UK where he spent 12 years, ending up as Divisional Manager in charge of sales and marketing. A few years as managing director for Piaggio (UK) looking after some iconic European brands such as Vespa, Piaggio, Gilera, Derbi, and Aprilia.
