Plymouth engineering legend retires

Happy Retirement Al

We recently gave one of our originals, our Al, a great big Aldermans send-off after 46 years!

Here are some of the highlights from his Aldermans send-off where we got the opportunity to all come together to say thank you, take a trip down memory lane, and celebrate a true engineer.

Engineer Al retired after 46 years with Aldermans in Plymouth.


It has been an absolute privilege working alongside such an incredible engineer, friend, and colleague. Al joined us on the 23 December 1977 and his clocking-in card was number five. Luckily Al has not been a stranger and has popped in a few times since his retirement party – which is just as well as we’re not sure what we will do without him
