Chris Stott
Business Manager
Sales
Chris joined the MINI brand in 2010 and knows a huge amount about MINIs both past and present. He really enjoys assisting our customers on the best ways to go about purchasing a MINI and thrives on ensuring we provide exceptional customer service. Away from work Chris enjoys family life with his wife, 4 children and 2 dogs - he'll challenge anyone who says a MINI can’t be a family car! He is also the lead singing drummer in a local rock band, travelling up and down the country most weekends playing shows.
Josh Lapping
Sales and Retention Controller
Sales
Josh started with MINI in 2015 so is now going on with 9 years experience in the brand. He grew up in the USA where every car is an SUV, so working for a brand like MINI is definitely stark contrast. Growing up in the countryside with mud and horses, the Countryman is his favourite MINI model.

Josh Sandman
Sales Executive

Josh ‘Sandy’ Sandman has been with MINI since 2020 - first joining us as a host and then progressing through to Sales. Josh lives in the countryside of Ross-On-Wye with his family, however he used to live in Spain where he competed at a high level of competitive sport. Sadly injuries forced an early end to this career. Josh regularly enjoys the gym and loves to take his 4 dogs out for longs walks on a Sunday across the Malvern Hills. Josh hopes to move back out to Spain one day to be with his new partner.

Adam Jones
Sales Executive
Sales
Adam has been part of the Hereford MINI team since 2021 and has always been somewhat of a MINI enthusiast - his first car was a 2004 R50 in Chili Red! As well as being a MINI lover Adam is also a great lover of motorbikes and takes every opportunity possible to get out on his motorcycle. When not out riding the roads of Herefordshire, Adam is currently learning the guitar - taking inspiration from some of his favourite bands like Metallica and and Avenged sevenfold to name a couple. He also enjoys sitting at home on a lazy Sunday playing video games on his PC.

Jonah Davies
Site Coordinator
Sales
Jonah joined our team in September 2023 but has since settled in and become a part of the MINI Hereford family. He owns a black MINI Cooper S but his dream MINI would be a JCW Clubman! Outside of work Jonah is interested in fashion and nature - so you might catch him on the runway or up Pen Y Fan. He is also a big fan of alternative music and enjoys going to various concerts.
