Emma Taylor
Service Manager
Emma has been working at Ryders since 2020 and prior to that had experience at BMW and Land Rover as a Service Advisor. During her spare time you'd probably find Emma at a coffee shop with her Labrador Rosa or failing that, exploring a new European city!
Lindsay Gregory
Parts Manager
With 31 years of motor trade experience, Lindsay has worked at Ryders for nearly 30 years! With an encyclopedic part number knowledge, nobody knows Hyundai parts better than Lindsay. When getting a cappuccino from the coffee machine, Lindsay gets 4 “Bullets” of sugar as “they are not full size”.
Simon Smith
Sales Executive/Motability Specialist
With 4 decades in the motor trade, Simon has been helping customers at Ryders for 20 years! His first car was a bright red VW Beatle which is a big change to the Tucson Hybrid he now drives and highly recommends, “I just love it”. Other than his Tucson, the key to Simons heart is a good cruise.
David Mellor
Sales Executive / Motability Specialist
Our very own Vegas Dave with 12 and a half years in the motor trade, Dave will be more than happy to help you with any of your motoring needs. Dave’s recommendation from the coffee machine is a cappuccino.
Adam Mellor

The newest member to the service team, with a background in customer service, Nathan is well prepared to help customers with his forward thinking and attention to detail. The All New Kona is Nathan's favourite car due to it's impressive technology and good road presence.
Sarah Waterhouse
Service Advisor
Sarah has worked at Ryders for 7 years, however she has known the retailer her entire life being a member of the owners family. Recommending the Kona EV, with its great acceleration and responsiveness, Sarah is unsure if she would ever go back to a petrol engine. Sarah has completed a half marathon and in the future would like to do a full marathon.
