Oil runs through Bernie's veins, and he has worked on every engine imaginable, from Fords to Ferraris.

Growing up in Bow, East London, Bernie got his first job at age 11 greasing taxis for 12 hours each Saturday. At 13, he had an apprenticeship in a garage and it wasn't long before he was learning the ins and outs of Jags, Rolls, Astons and Ferraris.

Last year, Bernie's obsession with cars took him as far as Bangladesh where he met Leepu, and formed an extraordinary partnership. The rest is now history.
