Meet the JF Automotive team

I'm the proud owner and director of JF Automotive. Growing up around race cars, thanks to my dad, fuelled my passion for the automotive world. Since leaving school in 2001, I've been immersed in the industry, bringing years of hands-on experience to our team. Beyond the workshop, you'll find me on the golf course, exploring the world of crypto, and enjoying the thrill of sim racing. My diverse interests shape the dynamic approach I bring to both work and play.

My role is to develop and grow JF Automotive to become a leading "One Stop" automotive company. After previously spending 13 years in engineering I was attracted to the opportunity of being back around cars. When I am not at work you will find me on the golf course, I love the 19th hole! Some of my favourite things are snowboarding, real ale and my black Labrador Hudson. I do miss my early cars which were a Mk1 Astra GTE and my beloved Mk2 Golf GTI 16V with BBS alloys!

I go by the title of "John's Mum" around here. My role primarily revolves around the world of accounts, which keeps me quite occupied behind the scenes. I have been here since the beginning of JF Automotive in 2011, thoroughly enjoying witnessing John's remarkable journey in expanding the business. While I may not always be seen face to face, you might catch a glimpse of me driving around in the JFA Abarth with its distinctive livery. I love spending time in the sun, so if JF Automotive ever decides to establish a branch in Rhodes, count me in! I'd be more than happy to embrace the sunshine lifestyle.

I'm dedicated to fulfilling every customer's needs, addressing any enquiries they may have. Whether it's a few runs on the dyno, or a full exhaust & bodykit, I've got you covered! My Passion for cars began from a very young age, playing with toy cars is where my admiration started! Now I spend most my weekends with my Mitsubishi FTO, either fitting something new or I'm at a car show.

I am here to advise our clients and assist with all their queries no matter how big or small! I've been with the company for just over a year now and absolutely love it. My enthusiasm for cars and all things automotive came from watching Formula 1 and going to the Superbike Championship at Brands Hatch. When I'm not in the office you will most likely find me at the gym, playing with my cat Buzz or having a glass of red wine!

I'm in charge of tuning here, ever since I was young I've been into modifying cars! Countless hours were spent playing Need For Speed Underground, sticking Neons, Lambo Doors & Massive Wheels on cars. Even though times have changed, my passion for cars has continued to grow. I've been here since 2017, I started off as a Saturday helper and 7 years on I have evolved into JF Automotive's Tuning Manager! My roles consists of Dyno Runs, Tuning, Datalogging, Road Testing and Fitting Parts. Outside of work to keep me busy I manage a local U15 Football team, I'm hoping our success lands me the Arsenal Job next!

Hello! I'm Alex, JFA's resident MX5-nut and tuner. I've always been interested in cars and tech - so it was only a matter of time before I found out about tuning... Fast forward to today and I now get to do it everyday! When I'm not at work I enjoy going to gigs, photography and going out on trips in the 5.

My obsession with cars started with playing Project Gotham Racing 2 on the original Xbox as a kid, before turning into countless hours watching modified car videos on YouTube as a teenager. When I finally got my first car, I quickly fell in love with both driving and working on it, and that passion is what led me into the motor trade. As a Service & Parts Advisor at JF Automotive, I enjoy helping customers get the most out of their vehicles, whether that's through routine servicing and maintenance, sourcing the right parts, or discussing tuning and performance modifications. Being able to combine my enthusiasm for cars with helping fellow enthusiasts is one of the things I enjoy most about the job. Outside of work, you'll usually find me gaming, spending time with friends, or trying to decide what to watch next on Netflix.

I'm here to help customers get the most from their vehicles, providing advice on remapping, performance upgrades and servicing products. Whether you're looking for the right parts or guidance on your next project, I'm here to help. My passion for cars started when I was younger, going to car meets with my dad and grandad and ripping about in all their fun cars they've had over the times! When I'm not at work I'll either be pretending I'm an F1 driver on my sim rig, watching the grand prix or football and spending time with my mates.

My role here at JFA is to fit the go faster bits. Anything from your run of the mill induction kit to a full blown stage 3 package. Ensuring that every job that comes in, leaves to the highest standard. And of course your general maintenance as well, keeping every vehicle fighting fit. I've loved cars since I was a kid, always been mucking around with my grandad on the drive and really grew a love for classic American muscle cars. When I'm not in the workshop, I'm usually spending time with my family, or watching the Formula 1 on a Sunday.
