CRAIG WILLIAMS

MANAGING DIRECTOR

'Life is tough... I used to be an oil broker'

Craig is a former oil broker who also founded the world renowed Vmax200 top speed event. Craig’s favourite drive was a blast to Monaco in his classic Porsche 911, although his most memorable piece of action was racing a jet along a runway!

Craig has the dream job of running our events and experiences programme, which makes his personal social media posts read like a billionaire’s handbook!

Craig lives on an island and actually believes he could be the next short Welsh James Bond.

Tom Brading

Membership Experience Manager

‘A master of oval balls’

A veteran of the car industry and of teaching kids our national sport (well some of ours anyway), Tom is tasked with one thing at Auto Vivendi… To take as many as he needs to for the team.

We live and breathe having exceptional customer service and Tom’s reason for being is exactly this.

Tom has European as well as British heritage and we are assured that his slightly battered appearance is the result of some incredible motoring adventures around the world. We believe him (sort of).

Whatever our members need, Tom will make sure it happens. So please feel free to test his limits!

Tom’s favourite car is a Shelby Cobra 427 S/C.

James Allen

Marketing Manager

'The one who likes to put spin on things'

Former tennis coach extraordinaire, James has found his true passion at Auto Vivendi after years of teaching kids how to play tennis in the Med, as well as leading the marketing in the UK for a global luxury hotel brand.

James brings his love of delivering the finer things in life, along with his energy and know-how, to try and help capture the excitement and buzz within the Club for the world to see.

James can still be found pounding tennis balls on court or in the woods (for his dog to chase!), or auditioning to be in one of his wife’s films…  We shall say no more.

JAMES MILLARD

SPECIAL OPS MANAGER

'The grey bearded one'

James is a relative veteran in the supercar world, having worked in the supercar hire and events industry since 2006. Prior to that he worked in the pharmaceutical industry and the wine trade, but we can assure you it’s not all drink, drugs and fast cars with him!

James joined Auto Vivendi as Special Ops Manager in 2020, as quite frankly he was the right man for the job!

James’ all-time favourite supercar is the Ferrari 288 GTO but he is yet to drive one. However, they do say that you should never meet your heroes…

James also thinks there is a Top Gun quote for all occasions. One of his favourites is “Your ego is writing cheques that your body can’t cash”. Fortunately for us, he’s kept these quotes to himself since joining the team!

James’ nickname is ‘The Beard’ and one can see why….

LUNA WILLIAMS

PARTNERSHIPS MANAGER

'Always the last to leave the party'

Luna is a former commodities broker and more recently the founder of an award-winning women’s entrepreneur’s network and events business.

Whilst she loves driving supercars, Luna has a self-confessed lack of knowledge about the inner workings, so don’t ask her any engine related questions. However, she recently undertook an anti-hijack evasive driving course so is well prepared for any other eventuality out on the roads.

In her role at Auto Vivendi, Luna loves establishing brand partnerships, enjoys relationship building and knows how to show people a good time (whatever that means!) Luna is a ‘people person’ and tells us that is the reason she is always the last to leave the party…

Kasim 'Kas' Hussain

SPECIAL OPS

'My other job is a Forex Trader'

Kasim ‘Kas’ Hussain started working at the Club in 2013, after leaving his previous job of chasing criminals and building ties with the community whilst working for the Metropolitan Police. Kas fell in love with the Club and the great team that make it happen (we are not fooled and know it’s all about the cars!), and he is now responsible for keeping our supercar collection in pristine condition and ensuring the smooth-running of member bookings.

Some say he has the dream job and that he was born with a full beard. All we know is that he is called Kas…

JOCELYN 'JOSS' POWNALL

EVENTS & EXPERIENCES

'Helping people around the world spend their kids' inheritance'

Joss re-joined Auto Vivendi in 2014 after several years of plying her trade working for associated businesses around the world. As so often happens with birds who have been released into the wild, Joss found her way home and is now safely back where she belongs – in the Auto Vivendi Events & Experiences team!

Joss’ favourite car is the 458 Spider because like her, it’s highly tuned and expensive to maintain – the perfect fit for the Club then! Oh and she likes horses.

Kieran Moore

SPECIAL OPS

‘Jack of all trades, master of one’

Kieran is a former mechanic and marine engineer passionate about all things motorised. Having originally trained as a carpenter, Kieran has a keen eye for detail and appreciates good craftsmanship.

Kieran loves driving and recently completed the North Coast 500. Whilst he enjoys driving all manner of vehicles; motorbikes, lorries and horse boxes included, cars have been a keen hobby of his. Kieran’s spare time is spent experimenting with speed during drift days, rebuilding his Volkswagen Golf R32 (his first-ever car) and modifying his Range Rover Sport (his normal run around). If money were no option, his top choice of car would be a 1967 Ford Mustang (Eleanor).

Kieran typically splits his time between West and East London (often via his Yamaha R1) but is fast becoming a keen traveller with the help of his better half and looks forward to driving both near and far for Auto Vivendi.

JAMES MCKECHNIE

Membership Experience Manager

'Living life through a lens'

As well as working in our membership team, James also captures all the event action on film, and when he doesn’t have a camera in hand, he’s flying the drone recording stunning footage of the action from above. When James isn’t assisting our members he can be found filming on a runway or race track, or enjoying his other passion, running marathons in aid of charity. James tells us he is a chef–extraordinaire. Some might say he’s the perfect catch – and then they see his shoes.

CHRISTIE SCOTT

Head of Entertainment

‘Any excuse to get her glam on…’

When she isn’t performing at our events, Christie can be found working non-stop on prime-time TV series such as the Masked Singer and Project Icon however, as one of the AV family she always finds the time to perform for our members and guests.

When Christie first walked through the AV black gates little did we know that that she would still be singing for us more than 10 years on. Luckily for us she hasn’t hit a bad note (or any of the cars) with her speakers along the way and our now infamous parties would not be the same without Christie…

LUCY BRIGGS

ACCOUNTANT

'Baby Vivendi'

Having joined us as a mere 17-year-old, Lucy is now fast approaching her mid-20’s and has learned most of what she knows from us. That, by itself is a scary enough thought, however that’s nowhere near as scary as knowing who she has learned the rest from!

Our bubbly darling had her first driving lesson in a Ferrari (it had to be done!) and luckily she survived and continues to be our accountant extraordinaire.

However, be warned, we are told (by her, no less!) that her father is very big, very protective and a slight nutter…

Our Drive Day Team

Instructors

'The ones who keep you safe'

Every new member undertakes a Supercar Drive Day when they join the Club and we have a team of friendly and experienced ‘instructors’, all former or current police driving assessors from around the country, who provide a fun day of ‘road-craft’ (as well as lunching like the best of them!) to ensure new members are able to enjoy their time behind the wheels of our cars as much, and safely, as possible.

Our Track Day Team

Instructors

'The ones keeping you on track'

Each of our instructors are experienced racing drivers and experts in the cars and the circuits we use. Our Ultimate Supercar Track Days are a lot of fun but these guys keep you safe and ensure you leave with a smile on your face. A friendly and personable team of professionals, there to enhance your experience and share tips and tricks so you can get the best out of your track day and learn throughout the day in a controlled and safe environment.

Our 200Mph Challenge Team

Instructors

'The ones who tell you when to brake'

Our 200mph challenge team have worked with us for many years and are very experienced when it comes to our cars, but most importantly your safety. They will coach you to push the car to its full capabilities and hit that magic 200mph speed on the runway, however, they will also let you know exactly when to hit the brakes.
