Cammish was born on 10 April 1989 in Leeds, West Yorkshire. He was educated at Morley High School. His competitive career began in karting in 2003, where he debuted in the Manchester & Buxton Kart Club Junior Rotax Championship, finishing the season in 20th place. Before transitioning to car racing, he competed in several high-level karting series, including the Kartmasters British Grand Prix Super Libre, the Super 1 National Formula A Championship, and the Super 1 National Rotax Max Championship.
Cammish moved into car racing in 2009, immediately finding success by winning the Formula Ford Scholarship class. During this period, he also competed in the ADAC Formel Masters. His career faced a significant setback in 2012 when he suffered a broken pelvis following a high-speed accident during a race in Spain.
He returned to full fitness for the 2013 British Formula Ford Championship, delivering a historically dominant performance. Cammish won every race he entered, securing 24 victories and 19 fastest laps. He started all but two races from pole position and set multiple series records. His points lead was so substantial that he secured the title at Rockingham in September with two race weekends remaining. Having clinched the championship, he chose to skip the final rounds of the season.
Following his Formula Ford success, Cammish tested for the Airwaves Ford BTCC team but ultimately moved into sports cars for 2014, joining Team Parker Racing in the British GT Championship alongside Barrie Baxter in a Porsche 911.
In 2015, Cammish entered the Porsche Carrera Cup GB and established a new era of dominance in the series. He finished every race of the 2015 season inside the top two, winning 11 of the 16 rounds to claim the title. He successfully defended his championship in 2016, winning 12 races to become a double champion. He attempted a third consecutive title in 2017 but finished third in the standings after a fire in the penultimate round of the season cost him critical points.
Cammish stepped up to the British Touring Car Championship (BTCC) in 2018, driving for Team Dynamics with factory Honda support. After a year of mixed results, he secured his first BTCC victory at the season finale on the Brands Hatch GP circuit, ending the year tenth in the standings with seven podiums.
The 2019 BTCC season saw Cammish emerge as a primary title contender. He recorded two wins and 14 podiums throughout the year. Entering the final race of the season as the championship leader, he suffered a brake failure on the penultimate lap. The incident resulted in him losing the title by just two points, finishing the season in joint second place.
The 2013 British Formula Ford season remains a defining period for Cammish, as his 100% win rate across 24 races stands as a rare feat in professional junior formulae. Conversely, the 2019 BTCC finale at Brands Hatch serves as a significant career turning point; while leading the standings, his mechanical failure on the penultimate lap of the final race handed the championship to his rivals. In 2017, a car fire during the penultimate round of the Porsche Carrera Cup GB ended his bid for three consecutive titles in that category.
Cammish has made appearances in the international Porsche Supercup as a guest driver. In 2021, he returned to the Porsche Carrera Cup GB, competing in the blue and yellow livery of Duckhams Oils. He currently competes in the British Touring Car Championship for NAPA Racing UK, driving a Ford Focus.
Cammish's statistical peak is defined by his 2013 Formula Ford campaign and his 2015–2016 Porsche Carrera Cup GB tenure. Between 2015 and 2016, he won 23 races in the Porsche Carrera Cup GB. In the BTCC, his 2019 season remains one of the closest championship margins in the series' history, decided by two points following a late-race mechanical retirement.
