Meet The Team
Chris Hammond
Hi, I’m Chris — one of the Founders and CarBee's Managing Director.
I’ve spent the last 15 years in the motor trade, learning the ropes everywhere from large used car supermarkets to main dealer showrooms. That mix of high-volume experience and main dealer standards means I know what good looks like — and more importantly, what customers deserve. Fair pricing, properly prepared cars, and no-nonsense advice.

My first car? A trusty Fiesta. It wasn’t glamorous, but it gave me freedom — and probably explains why I still have a soft spot for great-value, honest everyday cars that just do the job properly.
At CarBee, I’m all about making the buying experience straightforward and relaxed. No awkward sales tactics, no pressure — just honest conversations and cars we’re proud to put our name to.
Outside of work, I love all sports, If there’s a match on, I’m watching it — especially when it involves my beloved Liverpool Football Club (don’t hold that against me!). Win or lose, I bring the same passion and loyalty to CarBee.
If you’re looking for someone who genuinely knows the trade, cares about doing things properly, and will happily talk football while sorting your next car — I’m your man.
David Hammond
Hi I'm David - one of the Founders and CarBee's Chairman. I'm the one with the grey hair!
I qualified as a Chartered Accountant and for many years worked in London for PriceWaterhouseCoopers. In 1998 I left to join a client, Camden Motor Group, and for the next 23 years had a blast helping to build one of the largest privately owned motors businesses in the UK. In this time we started one of the largest used car supermarkets, Carshop, built a sizeable Ford business and a major Fleet business serving large Corporates and the Daily Rental community.

I still love the buzz of the industry, the fast pace, the market changes, technology evolutions, but one thing stays the same: good service matters. I believe in being honest, keeping things simple, and treating every customer the way I would want to be treated myself.
My personal motoring journey began with a bright red Vauxhall Chevette (no suprise they don't make them any more!) — a car with more character than horsepower. It wasn’t the fastest thing on the road, but it sparked a lifelong love of cars (and taught me a thing or two about patience!). Since then I have been lucky enough to drive and own many different cars.
Outside of the office, I try to stay fit cycling (normally up mountains!) and walking the dog. Cars still feature strongly with a small collection of cars from the best decade, the 60's!
