Working with some of best

Evening Chronicle (Newcastle, England), Sept 17, 2004

It's not everyone who has the pleasure of working with such prestigious cars as Bentley, Porsche and Lamborghini every day.

However for Mark Langley, vehicle technician and valet at Ian Forster Specialist Cars in West Boldon, his job involves just that, with millions of pounds worth of prestige cars passing through his hands each day.

Mark, aged 45, lives near the dealership in West Boldon and has worked for Ian Forster for a number of years as a specialist fitter and valeter.

Mark said: "I have to admit a lot of friends are pretty envious when I tell them about the marques I am able to work on every day."
