By 2018, Al joined Team BRIT full time, initially as race engineer and later as engineering director. As part of his role, Al was the lead engineer in developing the hand control technology that has become a vital part of the team’s adaptive driving systems. He also played a key role in establishing the team’s original HQ at Dunsfold and, in 2023, led the move to their new flagship workshop in Sussex.

Outside of motorsport, Al enjoys life by the beach with his little dog and spends as much time as possible on the water with his two sons. He’s passionate about wreck diving and loves riding anything with two wheels.
