  Katie Fishwick
Managing Director

Having grown up alongside Specialised Covers, the family business my parents founded in 1981, I’ve always had a passion for developing new ideas and challenging traditional ways of working. Since becoming Managing Director in 2018, I’ve focused on driving innovation, exploring new markets and building a business that’s ready for the future.

I’m not your typical MD. I love being hands-on, getting involved in everything from product development and commercial strategy to digital transformation and AI. I’m particularly passionate about how technology can help modernise British manufacturing, making businesses smarter, more efficient and competitive.

I’m incredibly proud of our Yorkshire manufacturing heritage and the talented team behind Specialised Covers. My ambition is to continue building on that success, combining traditional craftsmanship with innovation, technology and a can-do attitude to create new opportunities for growth.

I joined Specialised Covers in 2018, bringing a wealth of commercial experience from the highly competitive FMCG and retail sectors. With a results-driven approach and a passion for business growth, I focus on developing commercial opportunities, strengthening customer relationships and supporting the continued success of the business.

I’m a firm believer that great results come from great people, and I take real pride in leading, motivating and empowering teams to achieve their potential. I enjoy the challenge of driving the business forward while creating a positive, ambitious and collaborative working environment.

I’m passionate about personal development and always looking for the next challenge, whether that’s professionally or through a new adventure outside of work.

Katie had met my dad at her daughters motorbike lesson where he is an instructor and thought we should chat ! With a love for anything that has an engine it’s pleasure to be surrounded by so many likeminded people and having the opportunity to work on so many diverse and exciting projects. I look forward to developing and nurturing all customer relationships to provide an outstanding service that we here at Specialised Covers pride ourselves on.

Customer Service Assistant

I joined Specialised Covers last year after working within customer facing roles and customer account management. I can say I knew very little about cars, caravans and motorbikes when I first joined but with the help and support of everyone here, I have learnt so much and look forward to expanding my knowledge further and providing our customers with the best service.

Design Manager

I joined the Specialised Covers family in 2019. I came from a pattern cutting and tailoring background, following my diploma and degree in Fashion and Textiles.

One of my favourite things about Specialised is that there is always a new and exciting project coming our way. It could be a contract for a beautiful unreleased super car, or a weird and wonderful one-off request.

No two days are the same here and I love it. The team is creative, vibrant, and wonderful at problem solving, they make it even more of a great place to be.

As a car enthusiast, I bring a wealth of automotive knowledge and a lot of personality to the team! I am honoured to have followed in my uncle’s footsteps, who started the business 40 years ago, and to now have the pleasure of travelling across the globe to prestigious automotive manufacturers and seeing things many people would only dream of. If you want to talk cars – I’m your guy.

I joined as Web & Content Manager at Specialised Covers in June 2023. With a background in marketing and content creation in the automotive sector, I have a strong passion for photography and videography.

I’ve had the honour of photographing bespoke cars in the past and now enjoy photographing them with cover’s on! I really enjoy documenting the processes that happen behind the scenes here at Specialised Covers all the way through to the final products. The eclectic mix of products, from one-of-one car covers to caravan photoshoots in the countryside mean’s that there is never a dull day.
