The Team
Nigel Bridger started his career in the 70s and served his apprenticeship with a British Leyland dealer, specialising in Jaguar and Triumph. He then went on to work with various motorsport companies including Bill Blydenstein, Jock Robertson Racing and a few others working as a sub contract engine builder. Nigel also raced in the 70s and 80s with some success, but favoured the car preparation to the driving.
Tom Bridger studied electrical engineering at Aberdeen College and has worked alongside Nigel from an early age. He heads the car assembly side of the business, bringing modern electrics into the historic cars.
Alison Bridger manages the office and day to day running of the business as well as hospitality on events.
John Powell joined us more recently; he has many years of experience in machining and fabrication and is taking our in house fabrication department to a new level.
Finley Clark joined us in November 2021 as an apprentice, he is learning how we work and has already attended several race meetings as pit crew.
Neil Lampard joined us in February 2023. He is an accomplished performance transmission specialist and an ex Prodrive motorsport technician. He has previously worked as an on event technician for a World Rally Team and we look forward to working with him over the coming race seasons.
