As we all know social media is key to spreading the word, and even more handy for organising events! I was lucky enough to be offered the chance to take over a large but in-active Facebook group. I renamed this under the Driven Life brand and started bringing the group to life with my events.

After a successful coffee & cars event in Bath City Centre in 2019, several similar events were planned for 2020. But then the world paused. Events were not going to happen. During the initial lockdown I decided to complete a personal project that I had started 10 years prior – a coffee table book on the Fiat Coupe. This opened my eyes to what else I could achieve under the Driven Life name.

At roughly the same time as the Driven Life name came about, I had also started a Drivers Club. Back then it was called ‘Sports Car Spirit’ and was part of a business I then owned. When the business closed in 2018, I continued to run the club in my own time, and changed the name to ‘Network Wheels’. I successfully, but slowly, grew the club to create what it is today.

During 2021 it became apparent that Driven Life could become a unique way to present lots of different content and events, so I started to put those ideas together. I put together a simple website, and started to try out my ideas. In 2022 a new era of events was born for Driven Life, as well as a new website incorporating Network Wheels. As we ended 2023 B2B services were introduced to the website, as a way of planning events for other businesses.
