Aston Martin launches consulting service

Aston Martin has announced the formation of Aston Martin Consulting (AMC), an initiative to provide companies with the opportunity to engage with Aston Martin’s expertise centred on design, engineering and manufacturing.

AMC operations will be based at Aston Martin’s headquarters and manufacturing facility in Gaydon, Warwickshire where 1800 employees work to produce the company’s range of luxury sports cars.

Aston Martin CEO Dr Andy Palmer said: “We are often asked to collaborate on projects with other companies. My belief is that we can expand the provision of our expertise and experience even further. The formation of Aston Martin Consulting means that we can offer a more structured approach to these projects.”

Successful projects in the past have included a collaboration with Foster + Partners to design the London Bus of the future and more recently the AM37 powerboat, created in conjunction with Quintessence Yachts.

Managing director, Bradley Yorke-Biggs, will head AMC. He said: “We are very excited to be able to extend the reach of the business to include the provision of services across different sectors; both automotive and beyond. We have an incredibly talented and experienced team within Aston Martin and we look forward to expanding our horizons as we work with new clients on interesting new projects.”
