Since 1983 Chris has practised the lost Dark arts of welding. He now works in house as our resident aluminium welder, he has successfully welded more holes, missing sections, splits and other various damages that you’ve had hot dinners. He has single handedly promoted a trend to repair the irreparable and prevent the potential cost of complete replacement. When he’s not in the hot shop he can be found converting seats, skimming surfaces or rebuilding some vintage component.

She has been with the company throughout its’ entire development history and now runs the marketing, events and social media pages.
Scott is our full-time in-house engine builder, who can confidently turn his hand to any project no matter how old or rare. He has worked with cars ever since leaving school previously specialising in Aston Martin before coming to Formhalls for some much needed variety and colour.

In his spare time Paul works on variety of personal projects including the restoration of a 1972 Datsun. He can also be found on the track in his 1987 Volkswagen Passat at various events throughout the year.
Moses is a highly skilled machinist with an incredibly discerning eye for detail. He joined our team from South Africa having left his job of 10 years as a Tygerberg Engine Builder with glowing recommendations. Now you can find him skimming heads, blocks manufacturing bearing backs and much more.
Whilst in the UK he has completed multiple qualifications with the automotive engine builders associations, becoming fully certified as a head and engine machinist.
