Employer Description:
Flying Spares was formed in 1995 by Ben and Lucy Handford. Since then the business has grown and developed almost beyond recognition and now offers an unrivalled choice of spare parts - New (Genuine & Aftermarket), Reconditioned and Recycled - for every Rolls-Royce and Bentley model built since 1946. We became proudly Employee Owned in February 2020, a momentous development for Flying Spares. In 2009 we became members of the prestigious Rolls-Royce & Bentley Specialists Association (www.rrbsa.co.uk). As the first member company concentrating exclusively on the supply of parts (rather than the restoration of cars), we were particularly proud to become accepted. Having sat on the Board of Directors for a number of years, Ben stood as Chairman of the RRBSA between 2018 and 2021.
