About Twisted Automotive
Born from the passion of one man for this iconic British vehicle, Twisted was established in 2001. However the love affair with the Defender started much earlier. As a child, our founder Charles Fawcett was surrounded by Landrover vehicles. His father had been involved in the sale and repair of this rugged vehicle since the 1970’s and ran a 4×4 off-road driving centre. As early as 11 years old, Charles had his own Series 3 pick up, one that didn’t always run.
Charles joined the family business in 1995 and in 2000 set up Twisted as a side operation, offering tuning and performance enhancements for the then range of Land Rover 200/300tdi Defender, Discovery and Range Rover. By 2008 the demand for expert advice and quality modification had grown and Twisted became a full time operation. From 2009 the team focussed solely on the Defender and the rest, as they say is history.

Testimonials
“McClarrons have supported us for a number of years. As a large employer within the domiciliary care sector we require comprehensive cover and support. They deliver what they promise and strive to offer a compelling service in a crowded market. They combine a thorough approach with strong knowledge of the different segments within the social care market. Importantly for us, they also maintain consistent account management. I recommend them.”
"I met Rhys networking and was impressed with how he spoke about the services McClarrons offer. After a thorough discussion about my insurance requirements, Rhys came to me with 3 offers that ultimately saved me 30% on the invited renewal premium of my previous broker, as well as significantly improving my cover. We didn’t just buy from Rhys and McClarrons because of the premium but due to his efficiency and quality of advice, coupled with the smooth, pain free quotation process. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Rhys to anyone and will be moving all of my business to McClarrons."
"We’ve used McClarrons for several years and have always been very impressed with their knowledge of the care and voluntary sector. As a community interest company, it’s vital we work with a broker who has a clear understanding of the voluntary sector. After a complete review of our insurances, McClarrons expanded our coverage as well as offering a saving when compared to our previous insurer. If we ever have an enquiry it is always handled professionally and turned around extremely quickly, it is great to work with a brokerage who truly practice what they preach in terms of customer service."
