GBMINIs owner is Ian Cull, born in London, England in 1962:

After growing up and attending school in South London, I attended Bath University for four years. Bath is a great city with history back to the roman times, and spectacular architecture from more recent periods:

I moved to Frome, Somerset for a few years, then relocated to Newcastle Upon Tyne, home of The Magpies, where I lived close to The Metro Centre. I got to know Margaret, and we married in 1991:
Our Wedding

I worked for Sevcon for a few years, and through their Boston office I met Christian Peyla. His ambitions to set up his own company finally succeeded, with help from JLG, resulting in my emigrating to USA in 1996.

We have a nice house in Gloucester, Massachusetts and have no plans to move ...
Our House

And in May 2002, I discovered The MINI and bought my first (new) one!
