These days, everyone seems to spend a lot of time telling the rest of the world all about themselves, their jobs, their families, their taste in music and wine, and so on.

We have never done that. Working with people in the world of historic motor sport, we have found that recommendation by word of mouth is the best publicity anyone could want. However, as our market expands, perhaps it is appropriate to give you a little information about our experience.

Harriet and John Wood have been working together for over 20 years since Harriet was obliged by injury to give up her successful career with horses and decided to switch four legs for four wheels instead. John, an ex-RAF navigator, has been involved in rallying for more years than he will own up to; he is very proud to have been a member of Ecurie Cod Fillet since the early 60s, which in itself testifies to his rallying expertise!

In 1994, Harriet formed the business under the name of Navigator, and for several years was kept very busy with conference and event organisation. It was decided to move the business focus totally into motor sport, and the name was changed to InCompass. The change meant that it was now easier to give the time for marshalling or officiating on motor events.

Both John and Harriet are licensed MSA trainers, and have enjoyed delivering training for both novice and experienced marshals and officials. John is also an MSA Steward and Forestry Liaison Officer for North Wales.

In 1996 John renewed his acquaintance with John Brown of HERO (the Historic Endurance Rallying Organisation), and both he and Harriet became closely involved with all the events. In 2005, when John Brown retired, John becameresponsible for all the routes on The Malts, Summer Trial and LE JOG which in itself has become one of the best-known road events in Europe. It has the reputation - quite justified - of being tough, challenging, unpredictable and exhausting. John has driven every one and planned all the competitive sections, whilst Harriet sits alongside to do all the roadbooking. Back home in the office, Harriet then creates the master timing spreadsheets, and produces the finished tulip roadbooks, or other navigational material for the competitors.

This year we have decided to take the opportunity to spend a little more time on other motorsport projects which we enjoy as we continue to both maintain and further develop the quality of our services on offer.

We believe in traditional standards; straightforward service, good advice, value for money. That's the way it's going to stay!
