A message from Inspire Engineering's Directors, Reece and Tom:

Firstly, thank you for reading our advert, we hope our position appeals to you. We’d like to give you some insight into what it's like to work with Inspire Engineering by giving you some background. We started our personal careers in road car garages and on farms, but soon moved into the motorsport arena where we both spent 12 years running race cars across different categories, including LeMans, British GT, Formula 2, and British Touring cars… to name a few.

In late 2019, we toyed with the idea of starting our own business, marrying motorsport and our love of classic cars, creating a fun and efficient garage, as well as running a race programme. When the dreaded lockdown hit, we couldn't go racing so we focused on restoring classic cars for new and existing customers. This grew our business rapidly, and we became well established within the classic car marquee. The road car garage, running alongside the classic car restoration and racing program, has now been up and running in the idyllic setting at Forest Farm in Hanslope for 3 years now and we have established a loyal and ever-growing customer base. Inspire Engineering is young and passionate, with a hunger for growth. We are looking for staff to grow with us and allow us to take on more work and more exciting projects.

No two days are the same, you might be rescuing someone with a broken down road car, working on state-of-the-art race cars, high-performance vehicles or restoring vintage time warps. Whatever it is that we do, we protect our high standards.
