Nick graduated from Sheffield with an LLB Honours law degree and trained to be a barrister before joining the industry in 1994. Initially in car sales, his career subsequently involved consultancy work with both manufacturers and dealer groups before re-joining the retail environment. He established Auriga Cars and Dronfield Auto Bodies with Steve and has thoroughly enjoyed every step in the company’s growth. Married with two grown up children, cars and classics are his obsession and he also loves socialising and travel.

PANEL BEATER & PAINT SPRAYER

Brandon left school to go to Chesterfield college where he achieved all 3 levels of vehicle body repair and welding, along with paint and refinishing. Since leaving college he has always worked within the industry and is well known within the area for his high level of workmanship, happy to get stuck into a full resto project or paint a nearly new vehicle, as long as his Bluetooth speaker is nearby he’s happy! Brandon is married to Chelsea who must have the patience of a saint for how many projects he takes on.

Richard joined Dronfield Auto Bodies in 2023 bringing with him over 30 years’ experience of repairing and painting vehicles to the operation. Over those years he has refinished everything from brand new prestige vehicles to classic cars, and everything in between, even horse boxes. A highly skilled individual, Richard is a pleasure to work with, always happy in his work he never fails to rise to the challenge presented to him. As with most of the DAB and Auriga team he’s a petrolhead. A mad-keen biker, it doesn’t matter if it has an engine or pedals, he will still be coming past you! That said he is happily married to Joanne and a proud dad and family man with two teenage daughters to keep him in check.

Scott is no stranger to paint spraying, having initially learned his skills at Castle College in Sheffield. Since then, he has gone on to work at many of the most highly regarded Bodyshop’s in the local area over the last 30 years. Since becoming a member of the DAB team he’s proved to be a real asset to the business as he has an amazing eye for detail and takes immense pride in his work so fits in superbly. In his spare time he loves nothing better than to escape with his fishing tackle. He’s carp fishing bonkers and will even try and squeeze a session before he comes to work. Yep, we know - that's crazy!
