Our Staff Are Our Most Important Asset
Read about the dedicated team behind Dorset Sports Cars
Paul Winter
Director
Paul has spent over 30 years in business management and runs a tight ship. He insists on a very high standard of work from the rest of the team at Dorset Sports Cars.
Paul is confident of keeping the company on the right track and consolidating our position as a well respected and highly skilled independent sports car specialist, and from March 2014 a Subaru franchised dealership.
Paul is a racer at heart, with a passion for Porsche. When he has some spare time, you'll probably find him doing battle on a racetrack somewhere.

Dislikes - Not going fast enough.
Tim Speed
Director
First and foremost Tim is a true petrolhead with a passion for anything with an engine. He has over 35 years of automotive engineering experience.
Tim manages the day to day running of the garage and is always available to answer customer's questions and address their concerns. Tim is extremely customer focused, often going well beyond expectations to ensure our customers are happy. He expects the same commitment from his staff.
When time allows Tim loves to compete in motorsport. He has prepared and campaigned many cars including BMW M3, Porsche 968, Porsche 996 and our Porsche 911 GT3 Cup car.

We are not entirely sure what Graham does in his spare time, but we believe his family keeps him on his toes.
A bit of a man of mystery!

Lisa is the newest member of the office team, if you phone the dealership or bring your car in for service, it's very likely that she'll be your first point of contact.
Lisa's twins keep her busy, Mum's taxi service is her speciality. When she does get a minute to herself she likes to keep fit, usually running.
