People At The Hub
Car Sales
MARTIN CHISHOLM
OWNER & FOUNDER
Martin Chisholm has been an authority in the Collectors Car world for 30 years and has worked for some of the world’s leading auction houses. In this time he has built up an extraordinary knowledge of the market and of individual cars, as well as gaining an invaluable range of global contacts. Martin is now the founder and director of The Classic Motor Hub, where all of his experience and ventures in the classic car world have been brought together on one purpose-built site.
NIGEL BOWEN-EASLEY
SALES SPECIALIST
Nigel Bowen-Easley joined our highly-experienced sales team at the start of 2019, and is the man to speak to about any British marques, particularly Aston and Jaguar. With over thirty years experience, he joined us from a career at Aston Martin Lagonda, however his motoring passion started on the circuit with Lister Jaguar in the 1980’s, both building and racing. He moved on to work for Jaguar and Porsche in London and later Lamborghini, both in the UK and abroad.
WILLIAM STONEHAM
SALES SPECIALIST
Will joined The Hub in 2018 after graduating from Cardiff University with a first-class degree in Law and German. Will’s analytic and linguistic skills practised at university have complemented his roles at The Hub, allowing him to pay close attention to detailed research and accurate description of the vehicles offered for sale. In addition to being a member of the Sales team, Will runs CMH Storage with assistance from Drew and Colin and is involved with Martin on development projects away from The Hub.
MAXIMILIEN GAGNEBIN
SALES SPECIALIST
Max has been involved with classic cars since early childhood, very quickly accompanying his Father to many Rallies and Concours d’Elégance. Having completed work experience at Bonhams’ Motoring Department in London, Max went back to his hometown of Geneva to obtain a Bachelor and a Master of Law. He worked for several years as Legal Advisor in an international company and he even trained as a lawyer, however he much preferred the sound of classic engines to the stiffness of the Swiss Courts, and so joined The Classic Motor Hub at the beginning of 2021. When not working, Max can usually be found blasting around in his 1948 Bristol 400 or dismantling the family’s 1959 Facel Vega HK500.
JAMES WHEELER
SALES SPECIALIST
James’s love of motoring was inevitable as his family have owned bicycle, motorcycle, and car dealerships in Berkshire and Oxfordshire since 1902. With over thirty years of dealer and auction experience, he attends events internationally and has participated in historic races and hill climbs in England and Europe. James has a particular passion for the Alfa Romeo marque, as well as vintage cars and rare 1950’s and 60’s Italian cars and motorcycles. Most weekends are spent at a motoring event somewhere with his young son in one of their classic Italian cars, enjoying the friendships that have developed from the hobby as much as the cars.
Car Storage & Workshop Technicians
ANDREW WILCOX
TRANSPORT & STORAGE
Andrew Wilcox is our Transport and Storage Assistant, assisting with the movement and concierge of cars in our care. If you store a car with The Classic Motor Hub or purchase one from us, he may well be the man you see at the wheel of our covered transporter.

WORKSHOP TECHNICIAN
Glynn joined us as a Workshop Technician in 2022. With over 34 years of experience in the industry, he brings a wealth of knowledge on a variety of marques spanning modern and classic vehicles. In his spare time, Glynn can be found tinkering with his collection of 80s and 90s hot-hatches.

When not working, David is a huge fan of rugby and watching any form of motorsport – as long as it has an engine David’s interested.
EDDIE WILLIAMS
WORKSHOP TECHNICIAN
Eddie is our workshop manager and resident ‘Stig’. He’s somewhat of an expert in vintage cars, and certainly knows how to get the old girls going! When not working on the cars in our care, Eddie can regularly be found participating in Vintage Sports Car Club events in his Austin Seven, Frazer Nash Supersports or any of the other cars he is regularly invited to drive.
