PRO-SEAT - Key Persons
Alex has been around motorsport since his birth, tagging along with Trevor and Melanie attending F1 events and worldwide seat fittings from almost the very beginnings of the business.
During the period of Trevor's team ownership, he worked alongside the team mechanics: first cleaning and polishing, then fetching parts from track-side suppliers and finally graduating to work on Formula BMW, F3 and Sports prototype cars. At the age of 12 he could change the ratios in a Hewland FTR gearbox, having learned this skill from Rich Wake amongst others. His team membership highlight was driving the Quad bike in the pit-lane, loaded with spares and tyres, except when it was raining!
He has become one of the most experienced, requested and sought-after custom seat technicians in professional World Motorsport.
Richard has moved into the seat making business after spending fifteen years working as a race mechanic. He has worked in motorsport all over the world at the highest level in many different series, most notably for six years at the Force India F1 team.
Trevor initially trained as a landscape architect in the late 1970's as well as obtaining an honours degree in management. He then went on to teach Engineering and became Head of Studies at Canington College in 1989.
A change of direction into motorsport led to the creation of the Pro-Seat system in 1990 and there has been no turning back since. A spell of team ownership led to the formation of Team Loctite, competing successfully in Formula BMW, Formula 3 and sports car racing. Trevor was team owner as well as race engineer.
As Pro-Seat grew to an international level, this became the main focus from 2008 and the team was disbanded. The project Trevor started in 1990 has led to Pro-Seat becoming the leading provider of bespoke race car seating worldwide.
