Born and Bred in North Yorkshire means that I’m a man of my word - it is my bond. I originally started my working life on a farm, then moving into the Building Industry and starting RJF Homes, building around 250 houses in my own name. Being very ‘hands on’ I planned and set the houses out, dug the footings, dealt with the customers throughout the build, I even cleaned every house out myself as attention to detail is of paramount importance. One thing I’ve learnt throughout my life to date, if anything’s worth doing, it’s worth doing right. 

RJF Homes evolved into renting properties then building and renting Luxury Lodges, which still runs successfully today, but cars have always been my passion. Throughout my business career I have been involved with a Porsche Racing Team, and I also started and ran a very successful Luxury Motorhome Rental Company, RJF Motorhomes.

I unfortunately lost 2 siblings in 2024, and sometimes things make one re-look at life and one’s priorities so, I decided to semi retire and put my health first and sell the business. 

But in reality, I’m not made to retire, I got bored very quickly then admitted to myself that I’m not done and setting up a luxury and classic car storage facility at home was the ideal compromise to mix my passions and RJF Autostore was born!

I feel very honoured when someone trusts me with their prized possession and by heck, I’ll always do my upmost to look after it like it’s my own. 

Obviously I’m on site 24/7 living here, and on the odd occasion we go on holiday, we have additional staff members who stay on site for my peace of mind….. and yours. The property is only entered by electric gates. The buildings have extensive CCTV available for me and of course the buildings are fully alarmed as well. 

So, if you store your car with me, whether you want to take it out for a day or even a trip away, with prior notice, I will always be as flexible as possible to ensure you get the most from your vehicle and your experience with RJF Autostore.

Throughout my working life, most of my customers become my friends, so you’ll be able to visit anytime, inspect your car, and be welcomed with a cup of ‘Yorkshire’ Tea or a coffee, and a good old chat.
