Biography:

Whilst running his own successful business for many years Dom was spotted by Channel 4's 'Faking It' and asked to train a vicar to become a successful sales negotiator.  The vicar passed an on screen test first time, beating many well-experienced salespeople at their own game. This led onto the birth of Wrong Car, Right Car a highly successful BBC 2 series where members of the general public were taught and assisted in dealing with the buying and selling of cars at dealerships with Dom's help. 

Due to his tenacity for tackling companies and cowboy tradespeople and his passion for solving consumer problems he currently has one of the busiest schedules in TV.
