Fiona Elliott Shares the Inspiration Behind Me and My Car

It's me, Mark Stone, and in this episode, I had the pleasure of chatting with Fiona Elliott, the visionary founder behind Me and My Car, a company specialising in crafting unique and high-quality motoring and motorsport-related gifts. Fiona delves into the genesis of Me My Car, a venture born out of her frustration with the absence of premium motoring gifts nearly two decades ago. Drawing upon her background in retail buying and her husband's expertise gleaned from Castrol, they embarked on their entrepreneurial journey in 2006, driven by a steadfast commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction.

At the heart of Me and My Car's offerings lies a diverse array of products, ranging from whimsical chocolate cars to elegantly crafted clothing inspired by the rich tapestry of motorsport's history, epitomised by the renowned Suixtil brand. Fiona eloquently articulates the company's unwavering dedication to meeting and exceeding their customers' expectations, ensuring that each product resonates with a personal touch and evokes a sense of joy and admiration.

Our conversation delves into the meticulous attention paid to catering to customers' needs and the paramount importance of personalisation within Me and My Car's product range. Fiona's passion for motorsport and hill climbing infuses every aspect of the company's ethos, underscoring their genuine commitment to serving fellow enthusiasts with unparalleled dedication and enthusiasm.
