Stuart started life in advertising sales working in London selling for a magazine Marketing Week. Having accrued some debts due to a hectic nightlife (so he says) he moved to Reading and began working for a small Motor Factor. That developed into a business opportunity that at 23 he perhaps wasn’t planning, but he and a friend purchased the motor factor from the receiver. They then turned the business into a specialist company selling French Car Parts nationally. By 1998 the company had a turnover of £12 million, Stuart then purchased a German parts wholesaler. In 2000 the company was sold and became GSF Car Parts Ltd. This merger resulted in a £55 million 48 site national motor factor chain. From 2000 until 2007 Stuart was the Commercial Director in charge of Sales & Marketing for the group. In 2008 the entrepreneurial spirit kicked in again and Stuart formed Bluegrasscoms with the sole purpose of growing sales exclusively on behalf of OEM’s. With Stuart’s insight and amazing knack of judging the market Bluegrasscoms has grown sustainably and now offers a full range of consultancy services exclusively to OEM’s. In Stuart’s spare time he coaches his eldest sons rugby team and ferries his youngest all over the country to tennis tournaments. When not doing that he is doing whatever his wife instructs him to, generally as with many others, whatever he is doing it is not enough.
