Speaking to SunSport, Yianni divulged how he got first involved in the business
"From a young age I was always passionate about cars," he said.
"Loved cars, even down to the fact where I was moving my toy car, my mum would say to me you use to pretend to park in a parking space.
“So as I grew up cars got bigger and more expensive and I ended up spending more and more money on them.
"I worked at Do It All, Marks & Spencer stacking shelves in the night shift, I’ve worked in the city and I worked at a milkshake shop.
"But I believe that if you are doing a job you’re passionate about – it doesn’t feel like working, it’s fun.

But Yianni has one person to thank for his rise to the very top – former Arsenal player Bacary Sagna.
Speaking to The Sun in 2019, he said: "My first footballer was Bacary, who is my best friend to this day. He’s painted on the wall in the garage because he helped me out.
"I customised his Range Rover, wrapping it in gloss white. I also fixed an amazing sound system and put some TVs in there too.
"He asked me to deliver it to the training ground and the reaction he got from his teammates was incredible, they all thought his car looked awesome."
And his work with sports stars doesn’t stop there.
In June 2023, Jack Grealish used some of his well-earned cash to splash out on customising a Lamborghini Performante Urus.
The sports car, which is light blue like his club’s home strip, is said to be worth between £205k and £210k before personalisation.
But Grealish paid extra to get his new motor wrapped by celebrity car customiser Yianni Charalambous.
The new car was shown off by Charalambous on his Instagram story - and it came complete with a joke about City beating his team, Arsenal, to the title.
During the clip, which was posted to his story, he is walking next to the car and says: “So there it is guys, it is completed, Lamborghini Performante, tiffany blue.
“This car belongs to Jack Grealish, the Man City Premier League winner. Yes, he took it away from the Arsenal, however he wanted his car wrapped.
“I think it works perfectly, especially the way he plays for Man City, and there it is in all its glory. An incredible looking car.
“He's gone shuts and returns, you've got the carbon everywhere that we've left exposed, nice choice of colour. It's going to look great on the training ground.”
He also customised Simon Cowell’s £98k Tesla.
