After leaving school, he joined the Lloyds Bank Group where he was employed as a Business Development Consultant. As a mature student, Alun completed a Master's Degree in Business Administration (MBA) at the University of Wales, specialising in Inward Investment policy.
Alun was first elected as the Assembly Member for South Wales West in 1999 and re-elected in 2003.
Away from politics, he is a keen gardener and skier and recently completed a Ski Jump on the BBC's Johnny Vaughan Tonight show under their series, Tories with a Talent! He has also raised money for a range of charities through running 10km fun runs.
Alun is the Conservative Assembly Member for South Wales West, which includes the seven constituencies of Bridgend, Swansea East, Swansea West, Gower, Ogmore, Aberavon and Neath. He is a member of the Assembly's Economic Development Committee and the Audit Committee and is the Conservatives spokesman on Economic Development and Transport.
He was first elected in May 1999, when the Assembly was established and re-elected in May 2003.

He is also seen as an Assembly Members who represents the needs of business, as well as being a strong constituency member.
