MEET THE DIRECTORS

David Fairbairn

MANAGING DIRECTOR

With over 20 years’ automotive experience, David specialised in business development and overseeing key projects for the likes of Singer and Jaguar Land Rover, including JLR’s globalisation plans. Highlights include working on the Jaguar Lightweight E-Type and C-X75 – his all-time favourite car – while he’s most proud of his ability to build and lead teams in delivering exciting and memorable products. A lover of music and fresh challenges, he’s championing diversity of projects at CALLUM.

 

Ian Callum CBE

DESIGN DIRECTOR

After more than 50 years in the business - 20 of those spent as design director for Jaguar - the occasionally mischievous Scot is enjoying focusing on design projects that excites him, within and beyond the automotive industry. Alongside his trusted friends at CALLUM, he seeks to create designs that stir the imagination. His creations to date are revered: the Aston Martin Vanquish and DB7, Ford Puma and Escort Cosworth, Jaguar F-Type, F-PACE, and I-PACE… to name a few!

 

Adam Donfrancesco

ENGINEERING DIRECTOR

Adam is a highly skilled design engineer who has worked for the likes of Noble Automotive, Aston Martin and Jaguar Land Rover, developing low volume and bespoke road and race products. He’s most proud of his work on the Noble M600, Aston Martin Vantage GT8 and the GT12 model; though when it comes to favourite cars, he has a soft spot for 911s. The opportunity to create new products excites him and that’s an enthusiasm and passion that he shares with his team.

 

Ollie EVANS

COMMERCIAL DIRECTOR

Ollie has over 10 years of diverse experience in the automotive industry, gaining experience from positions within OEMs (JLR), EV start-ups (Arc) and D2C sales (JLR Pivotal). At CALLUM he focuses on financial management, playing a crucial role in the company’s growth and driving the business forward with an exceptional eye for detail. His career highlights include working on the Land Rover Discovery Jamie Oliver vehicle, the inception of Land Rover Reborn programme and being instrumental in the Arc Vector business start-up.
