Danni grew up in Kenmore, deep in the Scottish countryside, and loves nothing more than getting her boots on and hiking the hills. It’s within this breath-taking scenery that Danni learned to drive, aged 10, in a car with no doors on the family’s estate. That experience lit the fuse and now a bona-fide petrol head, this passion has enabled Danni to work with the likes of Formula E, Polestar Cars, Goodwood Festival of Speed, Hyundai, McLaren and Formula Woman Racing. She’s also taken part in numerous driving events, such as demolition derby’s and a supercar race through Scotland, which she won!
That fierce competitive streak, also saw Danni on the winning team at the Scottish Equestrian Championships in show jumping and dressage. A keen equestrian and qualified riding instructor, Danni once found herself having to build her own stables after rescuing a number of horses bound for a meat factory in Hungary. With help from her family and friends, Danni built the stables from scratch, and it continues to be a thriving local business.
