Directors

Leaving school at 16, Scott made his first career move studying Hotel Management at Northumberland College before retraining as a chef and working for the world-renowned Marriott Hotel Group.

Scott was soon setting up his first award-winning business – a catering business. This won him Tyneside Entrepreneur and Business of the Year Award. After 6 successful years trading, Scott moved on again and was instrumental in the growth of well-known north east retail outlet Grainger Games, progressing it from a small local business to an award-winning, industry-leading retail company with a presence on high streets up and down the country.

Scott’s true passion had always been the motor trade. Initially, with a small investment and selling cars from his home, in 2010 Redgate Lodge was born. In 2011, Scott moved Redgate Lodge into its first premises in Bedlington. In late 2013, Redgate Lodge moved to ex-main dealer site at Shiremoor, where we are currently situated. In 2020, we purchased our new prep-centre and Bodyshop, which will allow us to increase stock levels.
Away from the business, you may often see Scott in the gym or cycling local routes on a Sunday. Having a great love of food from his early days as a chef, Scott is still a massive fan of fine dining when he does eventually take a well-deserved break away from the Lodge.

Chartered Accountant Peter boasts almost 30 years of experience in the motor trade, having started as a Dealership Financial Controller in 1998, before moving into various roles at several large PLC retailers. This impressive career has cemented Peter’s place as a well-known and respected character within the north east’s motor retail industry.

Passionate about customer service and delivering real value to our consumers, Peter is dedicated to driving the success of the dealership forward. His analytical mind and financial strategies ensure that all aspects of Redgate Lodge thrive, both now and in the future.

Away from the office, Peter loves to explore the countryside, doing so on foot and by bike. Always ready to challenge himself, Peter is a keen fundraiser and, in the past 5 years, has accumulated over £4,000 for charity by taking part in walking marathons and long-distance cycling challenges.
