Dave

Transport Specialist

Dave is a highly experienced transport professional whose career has been built on years of long-haul vehicle movements across the UK and Europe.

He has spent much of his working life transporting cars for prestigious racing events and high-profile automotive activities, where precision, timing, and absolute care are non-negotiable. Operating in these environments demands more than driving skill, it requires planning, mechanical sympathy, situational awareness, and the ability to adapt calmly when conditions change.

Long-distance and cross-border transport is second nature to Dave. Tight schedules, unfamiliar routes, complex logistics, and challenging conditions are all part of the landscape he knows intimately. Over time, this depth of exposure has meant there is very little he has not encountered, and even less that he cannot move safely, legally, and with confidence.

What truly defines Dave is his consistency. Vehicles arrive when they should, in the condition they should, because problems are anticipated rather than reacted to. From high-value race cars to specialist vehicles, Dave understands what it takes to move assets that matter and why trust is earned through outcomes, not promises.

At Barnes Transport Services, Dave represents experience you can rely on. When your vehicle is with Dave, it is being handled by someone who has genuinely seen it all and knows exactly how to keep it safe every mile of the journey.
