So let's meet the team ...
Ray
Ray started the business over 20 years ago, initially working mobile, then based in Winterslow before moving to the Clearway Garage in 2013.
Ray has always had a special interest in 4X4’s and off roaders. When younger he enjoyed taking part in off-road trials and drive days. These days, he’s more likely to be found under the bonnet of a classic Land Rover.

George
George joined the R Hunt 4X4 team in October 2023 and is currently undertaking a welding apprenticeship.
George’s early interest in vehicles, engines and all things mechanical has resulted in him gaining a wide range of welding and mechanical skills, which he enjoys putting into practice at work.
In his spare time, if George isn’t in his workshop working on his collection of vintage tractors, he’ll be out on the road taking one of his vehicles to an agricultural show, joining in the summer harvest or taking part in a car trials event.

Adam’s hobbies include supporting his sons in their passion for motorsport, when he’s not on the spanners for work, he’s under the bonnet of a stock car!

Harvey
Harvey is our amazing Garage Assistant, he joined us in 2023 and works on Saturdays and in school holidays. He’s already showing great mechanical talent and we’re hoping, when he finishes his final year at Test Valley School next year, he will join us in an Apprentice Vehicle Technician role.
Harvey enjoys competing in motorsport events which regularly take him all over the country. He also builds and modifies his race cars getting them up to spec for racing.
Harvey represents the next generation in the industry and we feel privileged to be able to help him on his way.
