Brett Dawson
Branch Manager — Batchelors Otley
Hometown: Harrogate

Leading the Otley team with experience, drive, and a strong appreciation for a classic Fray Bentos pie (with tinned potatoes and tinned peas, of course), Brett is the man who keeps everything running smoothly—unless he's watching a real-life crime documentary, in which case... best to wait till the next episode ends.

A proud classic car enthusiast, Brett currently owns a 1970 MG Midget and previously cherished an Escort Mexico MK1 (ask him nicely and he might even show you photos). His passion for iconic motors is matched only by his eye for an epic adventure. Case in point: his trip from Argentina’s Iguazu Falls to Rio’s Maracanã Stadium to watch Flamengo, topped off with a helicopter ride to Christ the Redeemer, landing on Copacabana beach. Yes, really.

As a kid, Brett didn’t want to be an astronaut or a footballer—he just wanted to retire. With only six years to go, he’s on the home stretch… but until then, he’s the engine behind Batchelors Otley.
