We couldn’t be happier, here at the
SBT Ivory Tower, to have a great
photographer on board with us, Our
old mate, Vince, although he will still be joining
us on the BTCC Tour, is now elsewhere
employed.
So, let’s introduce Dean ‘Deano’ Paget to the
team. And what a pedigree he brings. Not
only is he a top class photographer, but he is
also a veteran, fitting him right in with the rest
of the gang.
Dean 46, joined the 1st Bn, Duke of
Edinburgh’s Royal Regiment in 1993 and saw
active service in Northern Ireland, Bosnia and
three tours of Afghanistan. During his army
career he qualified as a driving instructor,
eventually becoming his units Chief Driving
Instructor and running the driver training cell
for five years. He also became a Recruit Coordinator
in the Army Careers Office, Oxford
and Salisbury. During a posting in Chepstow,
he also volunteered for Severn Area Rescue
Mountain rescue and Lifeboat crew. A
position he stayed with for seven years. If
that wasn’t enough, Dean also found time to
join the Army Motorcycle Racing Team. A
passion which has also brought him trackside
to some major motorcycle action including
the BSB. (Hmm, I sense a job for him already
with our friend in the BTCC).
After 24 years in the Army, Dean finally
arrived on ‘civvy street’. He has since sought
a career in Media and PR. This has led to his
own company, Final Image Photography, a
business venture he runs with his wife, Trish.
Dean and Trish live in Torfraen, Pontypool
with daughter, Brylee (10). He also has two
other daughters of 21 and 18.
So now you know all about Dean, let’s
welcome him fully to our world. Although,
initially, Dean is coming on board as a
photographer, I’m sure we will see a lot of
him in our pages in the near future as he
beds himself in with the team. He already
has some great ideas for the mag.
If you have an event coming soon and you
would like some great photos then please get
in touch with us to arrange for Dean to come
along and do his thing.
