Helen Stanley

Helen Stanley….TV Presenter…Car Customiser….and self-confessed Boy Racer!!

Following on from a successful career in the fashion industry as a Visual Merchandiser, Helen decided to change her career path and dive full-time into her biggest passion…cars.

She wanted to shake things up in the traditional classic car scene, so merged her creativity and passion with her business acumen and thus began the journey of reimagining and modifying classic cars in her own garage, training to race and living the custom life

Her path to TV began when, after seeing one of Helen’s custom car projects on social media, a production company got in touch to ask if she would be interesting in joining a new car show…after initially declining and several conversations later, Helen agreed to give it a whirl…and never looked back! Her career in front of the camera had begun!

Since then, Helen has gone on to co-host three series of the international hit show Goblin Works Garage (Quest / MotorTrend USA 2017-2020) as well as I’m Not Driving that (BBC iPlayer 2018) and Motorpickers (Discovery 2020).

Since then, Helen has gone on to host Goblin Works Garage Mod Shop and alongside series two and three of Motorpickers with Paul Cowland, plus a special project with Goodyear & fronting the worldwide launch of the new sports car from Lotus, the Emira !

In her downtime, Helen (who holds a race license) is training to compete in Gymkhana whilst working on several of her own custom classic car projects, including her own race car. She is a huge fan of street art and pop art and has begun to combine this passion into her drawing & painting to create her own automotive pop art! She regularly shows her work at Art Exhibitions around the UK, including the incredible immersive event, Sleeping With Art.
