The short answer · Estimate
No reliable figure
No source with a checkable trail has published a net worth for Guy Willison. The only number we found is “several hundred thousand to a few million pounds” on Range News, which names no source [12]. What is on public record is his stake in a company. The register for 5Four Motorcycles Limited lists him as a director from 19 October 2018 to 3 April 2023 [4], and as holding more than 25% but not more than 50% of its shares until he ceased to be a controlling person on that date [5]. Companies House does not say what that stake was worth.
Confidence: very low. The one figure is unsourced, and the filings we opened give no value for his shares.

How we estimate Guy Willison’s net worth
We estimate it by listing what each page says and where it comes from. Only one page gives a figure, and it names no source, so the table also shows what the company register records.
| Source | What it says | Date |
|---|---|---|
| Range News [12] | Net worth of “several hundred thousand to a few million pounds”, no source named | Read 25 October 2026 |
| Biz Tech Magazine [10] | No figure; says there are no verified public figures | Read 25 October 2026 |
| Britain Writes [13] | No figure; says his net worth is substantial and his finances are private | Read 25 October 2026 |
| Primal Information [11] | No net worth figure on the page | Read 25 October 2026 |
| Companies House [5] | More than 25% but not more than 50% of 5Four’s shares until 3 April 2023 (a stake, not a value) | Register read 25 October 2026 |
Our method
One number with no source. Range News is the only page that gives a figure, and it names no source [12]. Biz Tech Magazine says no verified figure exists [10], Britain Writes says his finances are private [13], and Primal Information has no net worth section [11]. We do not turn one unsourced phrase into a range.
What the register shows. Companies House lists him as a director of 5Four Motorcycles Limited from 19 October 2018 [4], and as a person with significant control from the same day [5]. Both ended on 3 April 2023 [2]. These are filings made by the company, so they show who held a role, not what any holding was worth.
A stake is not a value. The only money figures in the filings we opened are share capital of £1 at incorporation [3] and a statement of capital of £300 after shares were allotted on 20 August 2020 [2]. Those are nominal amounts for shares in the company. They are not what the company or his shares are worth, and the register does not say what he was paid when he left.
What we left out. We found no television fee, design fee or royalty for him. A dealer listed the first of nine Gladstone No. 1 bikes at £26,600 [9], but that is a resale asking price, not his income. A launch price for the Norton 961 Street came from a page that would not open for us, so it is not used.
We update this page when a new deal, sale or filing moves the range; the “updated” date changes only then. The same method is used for all our net worth estimates; read how we research.
Where Guy Willison’s money comes from

His television work includes The Motorbike Show, Shed and Buried and Find It, Fix It, Flog It [7]. For other British and motorsport names on this site, see Valentino Rossi’s net worth and Kaleb Cooper’s net worth.
| Income stream | What is reported | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Television | The Motorbike Show, Shed and Buried and Find It, Fix It, Flog It. No fees are published | [7][6] |
| Bike design and building | Described as the driving force behind Henry Cole’s Gladstone range, and as the designer of the Norton Commando 961 Street, a limited run of 50. No design fees or royalties are published | [7][8][6] |
| 5Four Motorcycles | Director from 19 October 2018 to 3 April 2023; the register lists more than 25% but not more than 50% of the shares and voting rights until then. No salary or dividend is shown in the filings we opened | [4][5] |
| Appearances | Booked to appear at Museum Live on 29 October 2022. No fee is published | [7] |
| Resale value of his builds | A dealer listed the first of nine Gladstone No. 1 bikes at £26,600. This is a resale asking price, not income to Willison | [9] |
Some pages call him the owner of 5Four [11], and the company’s own page says he has founded it [6]. The register is more precise: he was the first director and a minority shareholder, and he stopped being either on 3 April 2023 [4][5]. The majority holder since 20 August 2020 is Adrian Giles, who holds more than 50% but less than 75% of the shares [5].
5Four Motorcycles at Companies House, filing by filing
Companies House shows Guy Willison as the first director of 5Four Motorcycles Limited in October 2018 and as no longer a director or controlling shareholder from April 2023 [4][5]. The table sets out the filings that matter for his stake.
| Date | Filing | What it records |
|---|---|---|
| 19 October 2018 | Incorporation | Share capital £1; Willison appointed director [3][4] |
| 31 January 2019 | Three directors appointed | Adrian Giles, Andrew Davis and Adam Knights join the board [3][4] |
| 28 May 2020 | Micro company accounts | Accounts to 31 October 2019; accounting period shortened to 31 March 2020 [3] |
| 20 August 2020 | Shares allotted | Statement of capital £300; Giles becomes a person with significant control [2][5] |
| 7 to 8 September 2020 | Share rights and articles changed | Share classes renamed and new articles adopted [3] |
| 3 April 2023 | Director resigns | Willison resigns as director and ceases as a person with significant control [2][4] |
| 2023 to 2026 | Yearly micro accounts | Filed for each year to 31 March 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026 [2][1] |
The company is described as a manufacturer of motorcycles and is still active, with accounts last made up to 31 March 2026 [1]. The accounts filed are micro company accounts [2]. They tell you about the company, not about Willison.
Earnings timeline
The dated record of his earnings is short: a company role from 2018 to 2023 and one public appearance in 2022 [4][7].
| Year | What happened |
|---|---|
| 2018 | 5Four Motorcycles Limited is incorporated on 19 October with Willison as director [3][4]. |
| 2019 | Three more directors join the board on 31 January [3]. |
| 2020 | Shares are allotted on 20 August and Adrian Giles becomes a controlling person [2][5]. |
| 2022 | Booked for Museum Live on 29 October [7]. |
| 2023 | Resigns as a director of 5Four on 3 April and ceases to be a controlling person [2]. |
What could change the number
A set of accounts that shows 5Four’s profit and what its shareholders hold would be the most useful new fact. The company files micro accounts each year, the latest to 31 March 2026 [1], but they describe the company and he no longer holds a role in it [4].
A published sale price for his shares, or a fee for a new television series, would move the estimate more than anything else. None has been reported, and the register does not say how he left the company [5].
New television work would change little unless a fee is reported. He has appeared in several series [7], and no source we opened gives pay for any of them.
