Meet Thomas Bird
Valeter — Batchelors Ripon
From Dorchester, now rocking Ripon
If Batchelors had a house band, Thomas would be on drums—no question. With his signature style, laid-back vibe, and a love for loud music and even louder engines, he brings a touch of rock 'n' roll to the Ripon team every day.
Whether he’s making your car shine like a stage spotlight or reminiscing about the time he hit the slopes in Italy with mates, Thomas is all about living life at full volume. His food of choice? Anything involving a burger or pizza—he’s not fussy, just hungry (and probably mid-drum solo).
As a kid, Thomas didn’t have a dream job in mind—he was too busy shredding air guitar and lining up his Hot Wheels. Now? He’s still chasing that Rockstar dream… only with a chamois in hand and American muscle cars on the vision board.
Whether you're handing over the keys or picking up your car post-valet, Thomas will make sure it leaves looking sharp enough to headline Glastonbury.
