Meet Our Team
Lisa Wilde

Company Director & Coachwoman
Lisa’s love for horses started at a very young age and with the help from her parents she bought her first horse. On leaving school she knew her career had to involve horses and the countryside. When Lisa’s daughter Eleanor grew out of her first pony, Lisa decided to give him a new job and taught him to drive. From that moment, driving horses became a passion for her.
Moving onto driving pairs and teams and taking her British Driving Society qualifications she then found the opportunity to start providing services for weddings and funerals, she met Dean and introduced him to the carriage driving world and the rest is history. Regency Horse & Carriage Masters are proud to say they are one of few well known and respected horse drawn companies covering the UK, with 15 years of service in the funeral industry, Lisa looks forward to many more.
Anthony Jones

Company Director
Lisa’s father, Anthony, started his working life by following his father into the tailoring trade, learning valuable skills that would be a great asset later in life. Always having an interest in horses and learning to ride as a young man, it was a foregone conclusion that Anthony would introduce his own daughters to the world of horses. Which then led to the creation of Regency Horse & Carriage Masters. A horse drawn turnout for a funeral is expected to include drapes worn by the horses, they add elegance and sophistication to the wonderful turnout. The well recognised Regency drapes are made by Anthony using his tailoring skills to the exact requirements of the family. Handmade, Anthony has created the largest selection of drapes in the country. Any special request he will make to the best of his ability. This makes Regency Horse & Carriage Masters unique.

Dean has been driving horses for many years, his attention to detail is second to none. He runs a very tight and highly organised ship. Dean is also a fully trained professional carriage restorer and keeps all Regency’s horse drawn and motorised vehicles in resplendent order.

These are all nationally prestigious events. We are honoured to have him and The Regency Horses as part of our team.
