Finn Stannard
Service Advisor — Based in York
Hometown: York (born and bred, accent and all)
Meet Finn: footballer-turned-foodie, playlist polymath, and your go-to guy for keeping your car (and your day) running smoothly at Batchelors York.
He might’ve once dreamed of Premier League glory, but after an unfortunate ACL showdown at 19, Finn swapped shin pads for service bays—and we’re pretty glad he did. These days, he’s serving up top-tier customer care with a side of pepperoni pizza passion and a seriously impressive kitchen repertoire. (Rumour has it, his homemade pasta might change your life.)
Finn’s dream machine? A "murdered-out" all black Mercedes G-Wagon—sleek, stylish, and just the right amount of “don’t mess with me.” Until then, he’s cooking up something equally tasty: five-star service with a smile and maybe a dash of chilli oil.
His perfect holiday? Thailand. Think street food, beaches, and enough spice to make your eyes water—aka paradise. Music-wise, Finn is a genre-hopping jukebox with no favourites… except maybe "Iris" by Goo Goo Dolls, which gets an honorary top spot (cue emotional air guitar solo).
From injured winger to workshop wingman, Finn’s living proof that even when the dream changes, the passion doesn’t have to. Friendly, food-obsessed, and just the right amount of chaotic in the kitchen, Finn brings flavour, flair, and fantastic service to the Batchelors team.
