Professional Development Focus Maintains Bentley’s Status as Top Employer

  • Acknowledged as a leader in UK industry
  • Employee conditions, leadership development and recruitment processes all commended
  • Supporting UK manufacturing with creation of 1,500 jobs in two years

Crewe- The position of Bentley Motors as an employer of choice has been underlined after the company was recognised as a Top Employer for the fifth consecutive year.

Bentley was awarded for its commitment and dedication to the personal development of its 4,000 colleagues working at the Crewe headquarters. Employee conditions, leadership development programmes and recruitment processes were praised as some of the best in the UK.

Marlies Rogait, Member of the Board for Human Resources, said: “We have a strong team all the way through our business. Everyone at Bentley, from our craftspeople in our factory, to our executive team in the boardroom is incredibly passionate about what they do. That’s why it is so important to ensure we help all of our colleagues be as good as they can be, with every opportunity to develop their skills.

“This award is consistent recognition that we are on the right track to making Bentley as a company, our products, our networks, and our people, even greater.”

The annual recognition, undertaken by the Top Employers Institute, highlights leading employers in the UK that provide excellent employee conditions, nurture and develop talent throughout all levels of the organisation, and which strive to constantly enhance employment practices.

Bentley has created 1,500 UK jobs in the past two years, reinforcing the company’s commitment to UK manufacturing.

Strengthening the company’s focus on development, Bentley recently implemented an upskilling programme. The programme broadens and enhances the skills of Bentley colleagues, focusing on core competencies within the business. Tools include the introduction of training islands, learning from master trainers, and adopting a dual education approach for trainees.

Last year was Bentley’s largest ever intake of trainees, including apprentices, graduates and industrial placements across all business areas. Industrial placement positions are currently available, with apprentice and graduate vacancies opening later this year.

Looking further ahead, to support the company’s future investment in its employees and the community, Bentley is playing a pivotal role in bringing a University Technical College to Crewe. Focused on Engineering and Design, the school will offer an inspiring education for 14-18 year olds seeking a pathway to future employment.

2018 Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster Review

“Supercars just don’t excite me anymore.” These words, spoken to me over a month ago by another journalist, friend, and (so-called) enthusiast were echoing in my head for far too long, but they’ve finally been drowned out. Drowned out by the wail of a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine mounted in the middle of the new Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster. My friend’s point is that back in the good old days, there was a crop of supercars that captured the imagination with amazing style, sounds, performance, and more. Today, it seems like everything is capable of supercar performance, with large luxury sedans outdoing some of the best and most dedicated teams of car nuts, while former pillars of automotive excellence are suddenly pumping out family-friendly SUVs. Beyond that, another league of supercars, dubbed hypercars have cropped up with hybrid gas-electric powertrains that make magical things happen quickly, but at the cost of the acoustic drama, visual flair, and engag...

Project SportWagen: Going Stage 2 with APR

    When we last left you, the humble little SportWagen was fresh from the development process with our friends at AWE Tuning, sporting a new downpipe, exhaust and intake, allowing things to breathe a bit easier.  The car sounded great, but there was no getting around the fact that our wagon was still quite, well, slow.   While we realize that nothing we do to the Golf SportWagen at this point will make it a race car, we still felt compelled to do something .  To put it bluntly, we had a fever, and the only cure was more power. Flash forward a few hours, and we found ourselves at Waterfest, staring down APR’s palatial spread and the numerous tuned vehicles surrounding it.  Earlier in the year, APR had hinted to us that their 1.8 TSI files would be quite impressive, and based on what they were able to do with the 2.0 TSI found in the new GTI and our time in their Golf R, we knew it’d be worth the wait.  So with this in mind, we lined our G...
