In light of the news
emanating from Rolls-Royce plc today, and to avoid any potential
confusion in the media, Rolls‑Royce Motor Cars wishes to
clarify that it is in excellent health and enjoying sustained global
success across its model range. There are no plans for job
reductions.
The company started
the year by confirming an outstanding sales result for 2017, with
motor cars commissioned by customers in almost 50 countries around
the world. This positive outlook has continued through to 2018.
Customer deliveries
of the eighth generation of Phantom commenced in January and the
marque’s pinnacle product has a strong order book. Phantom has been
consistently confirmed by media as “the best car in the world”
and has been presented with numerous prestigious awards and multiple
five star reviews.
The Rolls-Royce
Cullinan – ‘the Rolls-Royce of SUV’s’ – was launched to
global acclaim from media, customers, prospects and enthusiasts
alike. This overwhelmingly positive response has been exceptional,
with the car being recognised as an authentic all-terrain vehicle
that has taken its rightful place as the leader of the luxury SUV
market. Customer deliveries begin in the last quarter of 2018 and the
new model already has a full order book well into next year.
Sustained global
demand for Wraith, Ghost and Dawn families has been further enhanced
with the introduction of Black Badge variants of each model. Black
Badge is a clear indication of the modernisation of Rolls-Royce and
how the company intimately understands and responds to customer
demand and the shift in the luxury landscape.
Rolls-Royce
continues to invest heavily in its business in preparation for the
future. Development of the Architecture of Luxury – Rolls-Royce’s
proprietary all-aluminium architecture – will underpin all future
models. A new single-line manufacturing system – now fully
operational – is central to the company’s long‑term
production strategy. The Rolls-Royce Technology and Logistics Centre
at Bognor Regis was recently extended by almost 10,000m2 to meet
growing demand and in readiness for future models.
More than 1800
skilled men and women are employed at the Home of Rolls-Royce, a
fivefold increase since the company was launched in 2003. Rolls-Royce
has recently demonstrated its long-term commitment to supporting
future talent with a record intake on its industry-leading
Apprenticeship Programme. Almost 50 young people are currently
learning skilled trades at the Home of Rolls-Royce. Record numbers of
graduates and interns also recently joined the company.
Torsten
Müller-Ötvös, CEO, said, “Rolls-Royce Motor Cars is the world’s
leading luxury manufacturer. We are enjoying a period of sustained
success, underlined by our stated long-term, sustainable growth
strategy. The company is in great shape and I applaud the skilled men
and women in the Rolls‑Royce family at Goodwood and around the
world that design, develop, hand-build and support the ‘best car in
the world’.”
