I’m Helen Stanley - artist, designer, former TV presenter and lifelong car enthusiast. Before the television shows, before social media and before HELS, I was sketching ideas, building cars and documenting the culture that surrounded them.
Years spent in workshops, at race circuits and on road trips shaped how I see the automotive world. Not just as machines, but as stories, memories and the people connected to them.
Today, HELS brings all of those experiences together through original artwork, apparel and bespoke automotive design and is not backed by investors or a big creative agency.
Helen Stanley was one of the star presenters onstage at The British Motor Show 2026.
Matt Stancombe has built a career across the motor industry, from retail and motors advertising and marketing to senior OEM and agency roles, with customer experience and a passion for cars at its heart. He has also combined writing car reviews with filmmaking, developing his love of automotive storytelling. From 2014 he began training people on EV products and electrification and has owned EVs since 2017. Over the last decade, Matt has held numerous senior learning and development roles and led and hosted product launches and training events for some of the world's leading manufacturers. Today, through Adeptif, he helps brands shape the narrative their products, services and people deserve.
