"Exmoor Trim is a community for all - Land Rover enthusiasts & workers here at Exmoor Trim, we're one big family!" - Julian, Chairman of Exmoor Trim
Julian Gostling, Sales & Marketing
Welcome to “Meet the Team” at Exmoor Trim, I firmly believe that it is our dedicated staff that make a real difference to our business and ensure you have a positive Exmoor Trim experience.
I love the passion that the Land Rover community has for the brand and their vehicles, it’s unlike anything else I have come across in the automotive world.
Personally, I love a 4-wheel drive vehicle although I do admit my current drive does have four rings on the bonnet but having just recently test driven the new Defender 110 which is remarkably refined and impressive, I just might be tempted to go for a Landy in the future.
