Monty Haynes

Trainee Sales Consultant – Ripon
Hometown: Born in Derby, now calling Boroughbridge home

Meet Monty — cool, calm, and (mostly) collected, unless there’s a golf club in his hand. He’s the first to admit he plays golf terribly, but that doesn’t stop him giving it his best shot… repeatedly.

When it comes to comfort food, Monty doesn’t overcomplicate things. Chinese all the way. Sweet, savoury, spicy — he’s happy as long as there’s plenty of it.

His first real love? Cars. He’s owned an E36 BMW, which earns him instant street cred with the enthusiasts. And though he’s still early in his sales career, don’t be surprised if you catch him daydreaming about his next set of wheels between customers.

His dream getaway? Tokyo. Bright lights, buzzing streets, endless sushi — it’s high on the list, and it’s only a matter of time before he swaps Ripon’s roundabouts for Shibuya Crossing.

Growing up, Monty had football dreams — he’ll tell you himself he “failed miserably”, but we’d argue that swapping the pitch for the showroom wasn’t such a bad move.

Musically, Monty’s all about Radiohead — introspective, a little moody, very cool. It fits the vibe.

So whether he’s lining up a (usually disastrous) golf shot, spinning a great deal in Ripon, or tucking into a post-work Chinese, Monty keeps it easy-going, honest, and just a little bit understated — like all good things from Derbyshire.
