About Us
Mini Off-Rovers was established nearly four years ago by husband and wife Chris and Clare. Between us, we have more than 35 years’ experience in the hotel, hospitality, leisure and tourism sectors, much of it spent in senior operational and management positions before launching Mini Off-Rovers. Clare began her career in the hotel industry before moving into event management, while Chris started in hotels before progressing into the leisure and tourism sector.
While we gained invaluable experience working for others, we always felt driven to channel our passion for delivering exceptional customer experiences into something of our own. From concept through to delivery, we have always believed in professionalism, creativity, attention to detail and dedication to ensuring every event is a success.
Once we became parents, our vision became much clearer. Creating lasting memories with our children became our priority, and we wanted to help other families do the same through unique shared experiences that could be enjoyed by multiple generations while creating a genuine sense of excitement, adventure and achievement.
We established Mini Off-Rovers in June 2022, launching our direct-to-consumer Off-Road Driving Experiences for Children using our fleet of Mini Land Rovers, battery-powered, child-sized replicas of the iconic British off-road vehicle. Hosted at a National Trust property, these experiences have since earned us several regional business awards.
In January 2025, we expanded into prestigious private hire, offering our scaled-down Defenders to private clients and luxury hospitality brands. We are proud to work with organisations including the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group and consider it a privilege to be trusted with representing brands that are renowned for their quality, attention to detail and exceptional guest experiences. Our private hire service is delivered with the same commitment to professionalism, accountability and seamless execution, ensuring it enhances rather than interrupts the guest experience.
At the beginning of 2026, recognising the changing expectations of modern luxury family travel, we expanded further by offering commercial hire solutions to hotels. Through our fully supported Mini Land Rover hire service, hotels can provide an unforgettable experience for younger guests with minimal investment and risk, while benefiting from our expertise, support and ongoing servicing.
We believe our clients benefit not only from our previous careers within hospitality, leisure and tourism, but also from our years of operating Mini Off-Rovers and the extensive knowledge, experience and insight we have gained along the way.
