In all seriousness, I like the hiring of the person from Ferrari - I think that bodes well, and it’s good that there is a diverse board.

They’ve had ex-Ferrari people in the Engineering for a while. Assuming they’re still there the VP Engineering and head of powertrain were recruited by Andy Palmer.

I'm not actually sure this is good news. Ferrari Aftershave? Caps? Watches? Cufflinks? There's some cheesy ste in the Ferrari owner world. I know this first hand. I bought my F12 and a mate turned up at my house with some Ferrari aftershave. Tried to gauge whether he was joking but he seemed pretty serious. Didn't have the heart to tell him his mum hates the smell wink

Have you ever looked at the Aston martin ‘boutique’ on their website? Unused unwanted Aston martin lanyard anyone ?

I think all branded manufacturers are playing that game aren’t they?

lol - Ive never understood the Ferrari aftershave. Its cheap as chips and smells like it! Its one of those things yer granny buys you in a set for Xmas on your 16th birthday and even then you are not so sure its all that nice. It's perhaps marginally better than the Brute33 set that your Aunt bought you...biggrin

Well, she looks pretty tidy, but apart from that? What does she bring to the party?

She started 'Net-a-Porter' from her flat with £1.2m. Of course she did, probably found it down the back of the sofa.

And of course 'she was able to persuade luxury brands run by friends such as Jimmy Choo and Tamara Mellon to support her'. It's nice to have friends, isn't it?

She now runs businesses such as 'Mr.Porter'. Who?

She sounds like a character from 'I Saw You Coming'.

I suppose that they now have the requisite number of women on the board. Great to know that Aston are investing in compliance with the latest woke legislation. That's what I really want to pay for.

But she is from a high-end fashion background which, for obvious reasons, may carry weight with the Chairman.

Are you insinuating that maybe we will see an enhanced range of Kors, Hillfiger, Cardin and Lauren products available through Net-a-porter going forward? wink

hehe

She is going to help implement LS's business plan.
You must remember the plan; "This is a very important time for the Company as we execute our plans to transform Aston Martin into one of the pre-eminent luxury car brands in the world". Thought that was AP's plan.

More shares issued today. They begin trading tomorrow morning.
Total in issue will then be 115,878,718.

( In one of the Goodwood FoS Valkyrie videos, it was stated production begins in 2 weeks. )
