Bentley

Going to visit Bentley at their Pyms Lane works in Crewe is a bit like going home for me because I was actually born just a couple of miles away as, at the time, my father was working as an engineer in the very same factory. It has of course changed hugely since then and as part of the process of continuous improvement they are endeavouring to raise their already legendarily high standards even further by encouraging all employees to take responsibility for every aspect of their parts of the manufacturing process. To this end they are hanging fifty giant banners throughout the production areas featuring images that I shot of colleagues at work along with inspirational reminders about standards, work habits and behaviours. Sadly I was only there for three days so I am only a small way towards a deposit on a Continental GT, but at least I now know which colour I’d like…..
