In celebration of International Women's Day, we thought you might like to get to know some of the fantastic and hard working ladies who support us behind the scenes here at Maidstone Honda. Meet Chloe, our expert in-house Graphic Designer, who does an amazing job of bringing our content to life!
What do you do at Laguna Motorcycles?
My role as Graphic Designer for the marketing team includes a mix of everything, from designing ads and website visuals to setting up promotional displays.
What does a normal day at work look like for you?
Busy(!) - from photographing one-off custom bikes to preparing for launch events, there’s always lots going on! On a ‘typical day’, I could be designing anything from website visuals and social media posts, to magazine ads and posters. You might also see me in the showrooms or at events, photographing bikes, boots and everything in between!
What made you want to work at Laguna Motorcycles?
Motorcycles and the motor industry are in my blood, but graphic design has always been my passion. So the rare opportunity to combine the two was a dream! Plus joining an all-female team, in a male dominated industry, was super empowering – and lots of fun!
If you could invite any 3 women (past, present or fictional) to a ride with or hang out with, who would you choose and why?
Amelia Earhart, because she was fearless and incredibly determined, despite constantly being told she was out of her depth. I’d love to spend a day hearing about her incredible achievements.
Julie Walters, because I’d be in fits of giggles the whole time.
Penelope Pitstop from Wacky Racers, because you have to throw a bit of speed into the mix!
What Honda motorcycle best describes you and why?
Honda Monkey, because they’re simple and small, but always up for an adventure!
Who is a female role model of yours and why?
Violette Szabo - the Special Operations agent & WW2 heroine. I first learnt about her at a Ray Mears seminar, and have never forgotten the story of her incredible life and sacrifice. I’d challenge anyone to read about Violette and not feel hugely inspired by her strength and determination.

Laguna Motorcycles Limited (which include multiple trading names: Laguna Motorcycles, Laguna Performance Centre, Laguna Triumph, Maidstone Honda, Maidstone Harley-Davidson® and Kent Motorcycles is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No. 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allow Laguna Motorcycles Limited (which include multiple trading names: Laguna Motorcycles, Laguna Performance Centre, Laguna Triumph, Maidstone Honda, Maidstone Harley-Davidson® and Kent Motorcycles to act as a credit broker, not a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders, and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.
We are a credit broker and not a lender. We can introduce you to a lender on our panel, which includes lenders of vehicle manufacturers. We have commercial arrangements with lenders and credit brokers which are likely to influence who we introduce you to. We are not an independent financial adviser and don’t give you any advice or recommendations. It is your choice whether you enter into any finance agreement. Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked to the franchise offering you the vehicle. They will usually offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions (but we do not guarantee they do). If they are unable to offer finance, we then seek to introduce you to someone else on our panel. We will usually receive a commission for your introduction. This will be either a fixed fee, or a fixed percentage of the amount that you borrow. This may be linked to the vehicle model you choose. Lenders of vehicle manufacturers may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement. Before we propose you to a potential lender, we will tell you of the likely amount of commission we will receive and seek your consent to receiving this commission. The exact amount of commission will be confirmed before you sign your finance agreement.
