As the business grew and the projects became more bespoke and varied, Al changed name to ‘Outbuild’ in 2016. Prior to starting the business, Al qualified as a carpenter and spent  6 years building timber frame houses for a large national housebuilder. Al enjoys getting to work outside in some beautiful rural locations. He married his better half Georgia in 2015 and has 2 young children Khione and Stanley.
