AM Cambridge new DP

[Buster73]

Just seen that they’ve appointed a new DP.

I’ve quite enjoyed reading about his special projects with the AM brand over the years , let’s hope his drive and vision isn’t a loss to the AM family.

Get your watch and cuff links off the car!!!

Ffs.

interesting .... wonder what happened there - I am guessing he was too successful and moved to inject life into their OPC. What he did with the special editions and the RAF was very innovative and great example of integrated PR, Sales & Marketing (at least from a distance it seemed so) - good luck!

By way of wishing to quell the build up of anxt re our dear friend Simon, fear not. I'm sure the man himself will be along shortly with some lets say, very welcome news.

Apart from the 'Red Arrows' Edition launch at St. Athan, I only know Simon Lane through this forum. His ideas with the dealer limited editions have been very innovative, and presumably created additional profits for AM Cambridge. The latest DBSS will be the biggest project so far, at about £7 million revenue (incl VAT).

Perhaps there has now been an internal reward for this enthusiastic work. Maybe promotion within the Jardine Motors Group?

Certainly looks like a new DP. I hope Simon will be along, soon, with some exciting news.

[MO55]

Yes Malcolm, he will be.

I'm delighted to announce that following 5 x years at the helm of Aston Martin Cambridge I will be joining Aston Martin Lagonda plc as Director, Special Projects, Q and VIP Sales in March 2019. Thank you to everyone that has supported me on my journey, in particular the incredible team at AMC and Jardine Motors Group.

Very many congratulations Simon. Thoroughly deserved and a role you will excel in I am sure. As others have said I hope we will still hear from you if possible. Fantastic for AML to have you as a resource to continue taking dreams forward.

Congratulations. Having followed your dealer limited editions, and knowing a little about your industry experience, you must be a perfect fit for your new role. Enjoy.

( Sorry about my attention to detail Simon, but Aston Martin Lagonda is limited,
Aston Martin Lagonda Global Holdings is the quoted plc. )

Simon, very well done. I'm a huge admirer of your creations so should probably start saving up my hard-earned so you can help me spend my children's inheritance in unwise ways. Although, of course, something unique with those iconic wings front and rear must surely be more use than any amount of cash. Right?

A warm welcome to Richard. He has a large pair of shoes to fill and a wonderful team to work with. One request from me: if you can figure out how to get the cost of an AMi ii to iii upgrade down to a less 'surprising' level...

[Dal65]

Very well done , top man
