Thomas will have been at AP Racing for more than seven years and he’s already experienced a lot during that time.  

Thomas points to his family as the initial inspiration for him wanting to join the engineering industry, highlighting their positive experiences as being crucial to his own career path. Whether with cars or motorbikes,  engineering has been something that been a part of his life for as long as he can remember.

Thomas joined AP Racing's team as an External Logistics Planner in November 2016. This role saw him create schedules, buy and secure parts and meet suppliers. When reflecting on his first role with AP Racing, Thomas speaks highly of his colleagues for helping him to settle into the team and quickly acquire the knowledge needed for the role.

After a year with the company, Thomas moved into a new role in Internal Logistics, where he was responsible for planning builds going through the business. It was here that the Head of Operations recognised his potential and supported his further development throughout this period.

In January 2019, a move to another part of the business offered him a unique opportunity to use more of his degree, taking on the role of a Technical Sales Engineer. The role saw Thomas become an key account manager for some of AP Racing’s major clients and quickly became a role that he enjoyed.

Thomas openly admits that he is an ambitious man and wants to keep moving forward, progressing where possible. He highlights a significant career landmark as when he began reporting directly into the Head of Commercial. It was a result of this close work and experience, that Thomas was appointed to his current role of Project Manager in July 2022.
