Ben Walker

International Department Director for Collectors’ Motorcycles, Bonhams

“I have worked with Nigel Hole (formerly of Mortons Media Group Ltd) since 2005, across a wide range of classic motorcycle shows where we have held collectors’ motorcycle auctions since 1981.

Throughout that time, Nigel has consistently demonstrated a can-do, solutions-focused attitude. He is highly accommodating, thinks on his feet, and has an instinctive understanding of the practical challenges involved in delivering major live events. Rather than simply fulfilling a brief, Nigel has always operated almost as an extension of our own team – collaborative, proactive, and fully invested in achieving the best possible outcome for us.

Nigel played an important role in smoothing the way through event set-up and delivery, maintaining close and constant contact in the run-up to each sale, and ensuring that issues were anticipated and resolved quickly and calmly. His ability to find practical solutions under pressure, while keeping communication clear and constructive, made a tangible contribution to the overall success of the auctions.

It has always been a pleasure working with Nigel, and I have no hesitation in recommending him. His professionalism, experience, and team-first approach set him apart, and he remains someone I trust implicitly in a live show environment.”

Paul Hudson

Motoring Editor, The Daily Telegraph

I first encountered Charlotte in 2024 when she was part of the Mortons Media team coordinating The Telegraph’s inaugural involvement at one of the classic car shows they were running at Tatton Park in Cheshire.

Along with that of the whole team, Charlotte’s professionalism and proficiency shone through – their friendliness and can-do attitude were so refreshing after the somewhat officious approach of the organisers of previous events that the Telegraph had been involved with.

That she has been appointed by classic car specialist Hagerty to promote its range of events for 2026 comes as no surprise. Its Festival of the Unexceptional has become the standard-bearer for a new type of show in which everyday but now incredibly rare cars have found a fresh audience. The Foundry Project’s involvement, I’m sure, will see it go from strength to strength.

I’m delighted to be working with The Foundry Project in 2026 to grow and engage audiences across Hagerty’s flagship events: the Hagerty Hill Climb, Festival of the Unexceptional and RADwood. With their extensive experience in classic vehicle events and marketing, Charlotte and Nigel are perfectly placed to help propel our events forward.

James Hewing

Museum Director, The National Motorcycle Museum

I have had the privilege of working with Charlotte for over 20 years, both as CEO of the VMCC Ltd and latterly as Museum Director of the National Motorcycle Museum.

In her previous role at Mortons Media, she consistently demonstrated exceptional skill, integrity, and leadership as a marketing manager. For two decades, her strategic thinking, deep understanding of brand positioning, and ability to translate insight into effective action have set her apart time and again.

What truly distinguishes Charlotte is her rare balance of creativity and discipline. She combines big-picture vision with meticulous execution, ensuring that campaigns are not only innovative but also measurable and impactful. Over the years, I have seen her successfully adapt to changing markets, technologies, and customer expectations—always staying ahead while bringing clarity and confidence to her teams.

Beyond her technical expertise, Charlotte is a trusted partner and respected leader. She communicates with honesty, listens carefully, and builds long-term relationships based on mutual respect. Any organisation would be fortunate to have her guiding its marketing efforts, and I recommend her without hesitation.

As Book & Bookazine Publisher at Key Publishing, I would highly recommend Charlotte and her team at The Foundry Project. Charlotte brings a wealth of experience, having led a large marketing operation for many years, and this depth of knowledge really shows in her approach. She has a strong understanding of marketing strategy and consistently creates plans that are well thought through, clear, and engaging. Charlotte has played a significant role in helping to shape our business strategy and has been instrumental in driving our activity forward — from planning through to creation and delivery.

Ben Klemenzson

Former Editor. Classic American, 1996-2025

I’ve worked with Nigel for around a quarter of a century. In his earlier role as circulation manager on Classic American car magazine, he came up with several remarkably innovative and effective promotions that boosted sales of the magazine and increased its value both commercially and from a PR perspective. It was his idea to give away a car in a ‘token collect competition’ (3 tokens to be collected over three issues). He later expanded this concept, by introducing and doing an editorial feature on the give-away car in the Spring (whetting the appetite of the readers,) doing the token collect for the car over the summer and actually doing a feature in the magazine of the hand-over of the vehicle to the lucky winner on the on Classic American stand at the Classic Motor Show, the UK’s largest classic car show, in the autumn.

It was such a successful formula that he was able to repeat it with similar competitions, such as Fly-Drive holidays to the United States, a ‘paint job’ for a reader’s car and even sets of tyres, all with similar successful commercial uplifts in copy sales, whilst simultaneously raising the profile of the title in the media landscape. Latterly, Nigel was behind the purchase of the successful series of three classic car shows held at Tatton Park, one of which was an American car show and which he oversaw being rebranded as the ‘Classic American Stars and Stripes Show’, boosting not only sales of the magazine, but raising its profile by effectively being seen as the organiser of the largest American car show in the North of England and the Midlands.

Nigel is the type of individual who leads by example and who would never ask or expect people to do things that he wouldn’t do himself. ‘Team Player’ is a hackneyed phrase and often overused or used incorrectly, but I have personally seen him rolling sleeves and actually putting his shoulder to the wheel, helping with things that other senior staff members might consider ‘beneath’ them. Nigel’s positive and can-do attitude shines through in everything he does, and he would be a valued asset to any organisation employing him.
