Starting out in the early nineties Chris soon found his passion for cars, his drive to succeed and genuine approach to customers. Chris climbed the ladder very quickly working at Land Rover, Porsche and soon became a top national performer within the BMW Group – firstly in Sales then in senior management, winning a host of national awards along the way. Chris then decided to establish Baytree Cars, which would provide a much more transparent and personal approach with his clients when dealing in Prestige & Performance Cars “After my 25 years working within the Industry, I wanted to use this knowledge to offer my clients the very best possible experience every time they visit my dealership’’.
