Stuart Garner

Norton Motorcycles CEO and Owner Stuart Garner, left school at 16 yrs old with no qualifications to be a Gamekeeper on the Foremarke Estate in South Derbyshire. After a few years he left and worked in a Firework business, later leaving to set up his own fireworks business, which he still owns and runs today. Stuart began the firework business as a 19 yr old and by his early 20s, the company was valued at over £1 million.

Fast forward many years to 2008; the year Stuart bought the Norton brand, effectively rescuing it from an uncertain future with an American investment banker owner.

Bringing back Norton from the dead is maybe not as miraculous as it sounds considering Stuart had reawakened a giant of the automotive world. Stuart says. "Key to success has been letting the brand be the brand. We've not tried to change the course of the brand or deny its history. We've revelled in that history."

Stuarts interests currently cover Housebuilding, Fireworks, Hotels and a 6,000 acre Game Reserve in South Africa. Stuart also went to the Bonneville Salt Flats in 2009 and wrote himself into the history books, setting the land speed record for a rotary powered motorcycle - on a Norton - at 173 mph for the flying mile!
