Team BRIT's race for excellence with Bott Ltd

Team BRIT, renowned for its status as the only competitive racing team worldwide composed entirely of drivers with disabilities, is making great strides both on and off the track. The team is having a fantastic season, securing podium finishes in their opening races and achieving top spots in both the McLaren and BMW at Snetterton. Behind these victories, the successful team was on the move and in search of a new home for their powerful racing cars.

In 2023, Team BRIT relocated to a new facility in Sussex. This facility was an empty shell so the team started looking for a workplace storage supplier that matches their commitment to excellence. Al Locke, Engineering Director, Team BRIT stated: 

We needed a showroom and workshop that truly demonstrated our pursuit of perfection, and bott was the perfect partner.

Our custom design & build service enabled the team to create their dream workspace precisely to their needs, ensuring that their mechanics could operate at peak efficiency.

The importance of a perfect workspace

We chose bott for their proven longevity and the reliability of their products. Their 10-year guarantee gave us complete confidence, knowing that we're investing in solutions that are built to last. With our long-term goals in mind, partnering with bott was an easy and smart decision.

Productive workflow for the team is essential as competitions race through the calendar. Team BRIT opted for the bott cubio heavy-duty storage units which are ergonomically designed. The flexibility of the units allowed for tailored setups, which has drastically reduced downtime and maximised productivity. Al was amazed how bott’s products transformed their workflow:

An average day at Team BRIT is a busy one. With bott’s modular system, each work bay is perfectly organised with all the tools and parts needed in close reach, making our workflow smooth and efficient.

One of our standout features for Team BRIT was our adaptability and being able to meet the team’s specific needs. As Commercial Director Mike Scudamore highlights:

bott’s flexibility in the planning process was key. Even when we had last-minute changes, their team accommodated our requests seamlessly.

The customisation was a crucial requirement as the products had to form perfectly spaced work bays for the mechanics. With our perfect solution, the team are now able to maintain an organised, efficient workspace whilst they perform mechanical repairs to building complex electronic components.

Tailored solutions for Team BRIT

We understand that the design of a workstation can have a vast impact on employees’ health and well-being. With this in mind, we emphasis our commitment to enhancing ergonomics when fitting any workplace. 

Working on race cars is a physically demanding task which requires mechanics to move around vehicles constantly. Our ergonomic designs have been instrumental in improving workflow and comfort. As Al points out:

The bott system is designed for hands-on work. It's designed from the ground up and enables our mechanics to work safely while maintaining the high standards we demand.

Our trained engineers can install your storage equipment in your workplace so that it’s ready for immediate use. Installations are even scheduled to fit around you.

For Team BRIT, the installation service was another highlight of the partnership. Al recounts how critical bott’s team was in setting up the workspace:

The installers were perfectionists. Their attention to detail reflected the company’s ethos, and we ended up with a flawless solution.

This seamless installation process allowed Team BRIT to quickly adapt to their new environment and focus on their upcoming competitions.

For Team BRIT, their workspace does more than just facilitate the mechanics work, it inspires them. The clean, organised environment fosters confidence in their work and motivates them to deliver excellence, as noted by Al:

The workshop equipment from bott inspires our mechanics. Working in an environment that is perfect breeds perfection in their work.

Mike agrees, highlighting how the professional setup reflects the team’s ambition:

It looks like a Formula One setup. It shows people that we’re not just a small team of disabled drivers, we’re a professional team competing with the very best.

Inspiring teamwork

From ergonomic designs that enhance workflow efficiency to modular systems that cater to their unique needs, bott's products have become an integral part of the team’s operations. We have been honoured to sponsor the team and help them achieve a professional image that rivals the best in the industry and helps them reach their goals.
