Bentley is reassessing its processes and working hard to bounce back, just like every other automaker. The British manufacturer announced today plans to restart production on May 11 at its Crewe headquarters with significant changes to its daily working processes.
This will be the first time significant changes are made to how Bentley builds its exclusive vehicles in the over 100-year history of Bentley. Strict measures will be put in place to ensure the safety of everyone within the factory.
The measures are broken down into 7 key areas: prior to leaving home, travel, entry, preparing for work, work stations, breaks, and exiting the site – and are designed to protect staff at the factory, which employs over 4,000 people and where every Bentley is hand-built.
Adrian Hallmark, Chairman and CEO, Bentley Motors, said: “Throughout this unprecedented crisis, the health and safety of our colleagues has, and will continue to be, paramount. These extensive new working measures will allow both our people and Bentley to come back stronger than ever and even more focused.
“The time is now right for Bentley to begin a gradual and controlled return to production, while ensuring our sites are the safest place any of us can be. Everybody will be able to play their part to ensure we can continue Bentley’s extraordinary journey into the future of luxury, sustainable mobility.”
