HISTORY OF RPM TECHNIK
RPM Technik was established in 2001 by company founder Ollie Preston. Specialising in service and maintenance exclusively for Porsche models, this is a core value never to be deviated from. Technical director, Ollie began his Porsche career as a technician working on air-cooled Porsche models within the specialist marketplace. After almost ten years of learning his craft, he set up his own specialist business from a rented single car lockup. A few years later moving down the site into a slightly larger and more salubrious establishment, able to accommodate three Porsches with a little more parking!
Commercial director Darren Anderson joined the organisation in 2005. Darren’s dealings with Ollie came through his interaction as a client of RPM Technik, being an owner of multiple 944 Turbos. After a successful early career as a Mechanical Engineer in the oil and gas industry, Darren’s background and experience in business management brought Ollie’s dream to life as they grew and finessed the operation. The following six years were focused on recruiting the best technical team in the Porsche specialist network and then moving into the existing purpose-built unit in 2011.
The last member of the RPM Technik team of Directors was in the shape of Greig Daly, who was, as you guessed, a previous client of RPM Technik. An owner of a 964 at the time, both Darren and Ollie persuaded Greig to join from the main dealer network where he had previously been working with Porsche, Audi and BMW. Greig completed the line-up in 2012, when he took the position of Sales Director, bringing his experience in sales and marketing. Thereafter the team set about the task of becoming Europe’s leading specialist in Porsche servicing and sales.
