Karl Davis
Founder & Owner
Coachworks Consulting
Karl Davis has almost forty years’ experience in the automotive industry. After a progressive couple of decades working for retailers and OEM’s in sales, aftersales and leadership capacities and from the shop floor to the boardroom, Karl formed Coachworks in 2002. His company offers professional services including consulting, coaching, training and on-line resources.
Today he leads a group of professionals that work with manufacturer and retailer teams to improve performance across all departments; by growing the human capital and optimising digital platforms.
Adopting a seek first to understand approach, Karl is practiced at challenging convention, opening minds and accelerating behavioural and operational change. Whilst he could be described as charismatic, he’s also not afraid to ask the killer question to get to the heart of a matter. As a consequence, he can quickly identify growth opportunities and inspire individuals and organisations to take action to improve outcomes for colleagues and customers alike.
As a widely known figure, it’s not surprising Karl’s opinions are published in the trade press, shared on the conference stage or relied upon as a judge for industry awards.
When not leading the Coachworks team or supporting clients in person, Karl enjoys country life with his wife and daughter, spending weekends on his farm in the beautiful Derbyshire Dales.
