The new building covers 7,200 square metres over four storeys and was constructed in just seven months. The building marks the first stage of Bentley’s headquarter expansion which continues to develop the site as an industry-leading, modern, efficient manufacturing facility. Commenting on the visit, #wolfgangdurheimer, Bentley Chairman and CEO, said: “Our research and development centre, 25 Pyms Lane, is where a new generation of Bentleys will be developed, which will continue our commitment to luxury, performance, quality and engineering #excellence. “We are honoured that we could welcome Her Royal Highness once again to our expanding headquarters, not just to celebrate the continued evolution of our site, but to demonstrate first-hand the skill of our engineers, craftspeople and trainees here in #crewe.” Matthew Reed Corporate Communications Manager matthew.reed@bentley.co.uk +44(0)7903 515088 Andrew Roberts Director of Communications andrewa.roberts@bentley.co.uk +44(0)7432 718801 Bentley Motors Ltd Pyms Lane #crewe CW1 3PL www.bentleymedia.com communications@bentley.co.uk @BentleyComms Press Information Before unveiling a plaque to officially open the new building, The Princess Royal visited Bentley’s flagship showroom, CW1 House, and then toured the main production facility where the company’s four model lines, Bentayga, Continental, Flying Spur and Mulsanne are handcrafted. Her Royal Highness also met both apprentices and colleagues working on bespoke training islands in wood and leather, learning more about Bentley’s innovative approach to training young people and continuously improving the skills of colleagues in all areas of the business.
