Luxury car manufacturer to create 1,000 new jobs

One of the UK’s iconic car manufacturers will create 1,000 new jobs across Warwickshire and Wales until 2020, a recent news report has been able to reveal.

Gaydon-based luxury car maker Aston Martin will build its new crossover vehicle, known as DBX, at St Athan in Glamorgan. The 90-acre site will re-purpose some of the facilities currently in use by the Ministry of Defence (MoD).

Construction work on the facility is expected to start in 2017 with full vehicle production commencing in 2020.

Additional workers will also be taken on at its Gaydon headquarters after the group confirmed its range of next-generation sports cars will be built there, including the new all-electric RapidE model.

Aston Martin chief executive Dr Andrew Palmer said: "During our 103-year history, Aston Martin has become famous for making beautiful hand-crafted cars in England.

"Through a detailed evaluation of over 20 potential global locations for this new manufacturing facility, we were consistently impressed with the focus on quality, cost and speed from the Welsh Government team. As a great British company, we look forward to St Athan joining Gaydon as our second centre of hand-crafted manufacturing excellence."
