Bob Laishley | Caterham Cars - Apprentice to CEO

CEO of Caterham Bob Laishley is on this extraordinary episode of The Ignition Podcast.


From Apprentice to CEO, Bob's career isn't one of flash glamour and fame. Bob is as humble as they come he's probably the same guy from the midlands who wanted to work hard, do right by his employer and get the job done.


No, pretending to be someone he's not, Bob is a true salt-of-the-earth guy who happened to end up at the right place at the right time.

TOYOTA was my first client at only 17! | Jamie Bufton - Photographer

Jamie started at his local hill climb, Shelsey Walsh; he realised that taking photos for drivers was an opportunity to cover the cost of his ticket; from that point onwards, Jamie has been using his sense of problem-solving and people skills to climb the career ladder from a young age. At only 18, Jamie realises that his confidence in himself around people is the biggest asset, not the camera and lenses he has, but his words and work speak for themself.


Working for companies like Toyota, Audi, and Land Rover Classic and travelling the world already, Jamie has one hell of a headstart in the world of freelance photography.
