I joined Neil Brown Engineering in 1989 when electronics came into motor racing and engine management systems became increasingly popular. My brother-in-law already worked here and I’d been helping him out a little bit as a newly qualified electronics engineer, so Neil offered me a job. I said, ‘I’ll do it for a few years to see a bit of the world.’ That was 35 years ago!
We have a core of staff who have worked here for 30-plus years together with Neil and they’re still together now he’s gone, with the same values in place and the same desire to succeed. In that respect, things haven’t changed that much. We just picked up the pieces that Neil used to do and everybody has taken on a bit more.
