Remarketing Manager

Daniel Hignett

Dan has a fine eye for detail and a burning passion for showcasing the cars that Rex brings through the doors. If you've been down to the forecourt, you'll know his passion really does speak for itself. Day to day, Dan manages the cars being listed both on socials and on the website, but more so loves nothing more than bonding with his colleagues and adding to the dynamic team that gives Rex its glowing reputation. In his spare time Dan has a real appreciation for photography, something he now gets to do daily at Rex, he truly loves what he does!

Service Manager

Anna-Beth Saffery

She may be the newest arrival but Anna-Beth is already well established here. A bubbling ball of positivity, the permanent smile she wears is only out-dazzled by her forever funky footwear. Anna-Beth genuinely enjoys helping our customers find the car that best suits them. And her background in the performing arts has ensured she has the confidence and charisma to thrive in this customer-facing environment. In her spare time Anna-Beth loves taking her dog Treacle on long walks in the Manx countryside and is hoping to return to performing on stage soon!

Operations Manager

Terri McCullough

Terri is the mother hen of the Rex Team. If something needs doing, Terri will ensure it’s done and done well. She’s the queen of spinning plates, keeping everything ticking over and providing the support needed for operations to run smoothly. Her meticulous eye for detail ensures no stone is left unturned and her wicked sense of humour keeps the lads on their toes. When Terri allows herself a spare few minutes, she loves long walks, hitting the gym and helping with local charity Hospice at Home.

Sales Manager

Chris Moore

His love affair with vehicles began with a passion for karting, which Chris started racing from the age of 10.  It’s fitting then, decades on, that he finds himself in a job where he’s talking, living, breathing and selling cars. Chris loves the unpredictability of his job, meeting different kinds of people from all walks of life, and gets a genuine thrill from finding the best value - and most suitable - vehicle for each person. In his spare time, in between tending to an ever-growing family, Chris still finds time for a whirl round the karting track.

Senior Vehicle Technician

Jeff Hutton

Jeff is a man of few words and a stare so steely it could build scaffolding. Born into this life - with his Dad owning his own garage, and working with vehicles all of his adulthood, what Jeff doesn’t know about cars isn’t worth knowing. Whether it be inspecting vehicles, replacing missing components, attending to client demands or identifying and making vehicle repairs, Jeff is the captain of the garage. This is his domain.

Chief Valeter

Konrad Bednarsky

Konrad is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma. A man with so much mystique we wouldn’t be surprised if he left every day vanishing in a puff of smoke. What’s more, Konrad’s a wizard with the machines. Polishing, restoring, finessing, cleaning and transforming vehicles is what he was born to do. We’ve no doubt a Hollywood movie of his life will be in the works, one day. But for now, he’s a master craftsman...and he’s ours.

Joseph Callow

Sporting a baby face and arms like boulders, young mechanic Joseph spends most of his time either under car bonnets or working out at the gym. The son of a mechanic, he grew up in and around the garage environment and is a natural. Joseph is a classic example of someone’s hobby being their job. Don’t believe us? In his downtime, he loves nothing more than fixing up his fleet of 7 (yes, 7!!) cars and 2 motorbikes.

John Corkill

Not all heroes wear capes and John’s no exception - he simply refuses to wear them. Never has, never will. Having said that, there’s little doubt he’s a hero in the garage. Having built up his own established service centre - JG Corkill - John has now, as part of our acquisition, brought his years of mechanical mastery to the Rex team. As time goes on, John will be winding down and spending more time with his grandchildren or riding his mountain bike. But for now, we’re rinsing that sponge of wisdom out for all its worth!

Founder

Ian Drake

He’s the gaffer - a man whose mission when forming Rex Leasing in 2018 was simply to provide an outstanding, no-nonsense leasing service. The mantra has been - and continues to be - all about customer service. There’s nothing more important to Ian than undoing the stereotypes of the dodgy car dealer. Now, with Rex Leasing becoming Rex Motor Company, the evolution continues at a breakneck pace but the values remain the same. No egos, complete and total honesty, married to hard work and respect for one another. Maybe he’ll even allow himself to switch off every now and then…
