What our graduates say 

LOREN WRIGHT FORMER GRADUATE AND NOW HEAD OF HYPERCAR PROGRAMMES

Why did you choose to apply for the Aston Martin Graduate Scheme? From a young age watching Top Gear with my dad, the Aston Martin DB9 was always in the Supercool area of the wall and it became something I aspired to own one day. To work at such a prestigious company gives me great pride and pleasure whenever I'm asked about my employment.

What pathway have you taken since you started the scheme? When I started my role as an engineer in Body Structures, I was allocated such a challenging and rewarding project to run that I decided to return to the area at the end of the scheme. I helped lead the launch of the DB11 Body Structures content and then went on to lead the project management of the Body Structures for Aston Martin's first SUV, the DBX from Concept through to Job 1. In between projects, I had the opportunity to experience some other departments to build up my contacts and base knowledge of how the business works, which has proven invaluable in my career. Since completing my work on the DBX, I have moved into an area I experienced and loved on my rotation, and have since been promoted to Head of Hypercar Programmes.

What is the most rewarding part of your role? For me, seeing the delivery of the project I'm working on is what makes me most proud; my job in project management of the Underframe was ensuring all engineering content was captured and that I achieved the delivery of this on time and to budget. When the parts arrived on site for the first time, it gave me great pride knowing I was fundamental in achieving that. Now, I'm responsible for whole vehicle delivery, so a small step up from my previous role! Today, my most rewarding moments are collaborating with engineers to unlock issues within the Programme timing which will enable us to deliver as planned with reduced risks; it's all one big challenge to overcome and win!

How has the Graduate Scheme helped you to develop? My skills in leadership came on leaps and bounds when I joined the Graduate Scheme. During the first year of the scheme, I was mentored and taught the fundamentals of the job. During the second year, this mantle was passed on to me to teach to the new first years. Having this steady increase of responsibility also enables you to learn the role more thoroughly to teach others well. I'm now leading a team of seven who directly rely on me to guide them, whilst also managing a programme with several hundred people feeding into it!

ABOUT US

Aston Martin’s vision is to be the world’s most desirable, ultra-luxury British brand, creating the most exquisitely addictive performance cars. Founded in 1913 by Lionel Martin and Robert Bamford, Aston Martin is acknowledged as an iconic global brand synonymous with style, luxury, performance, and exclusivity. Aston Martin fuses the latest technology, time honoured craftsmanship and beautiful styling to produce a range of critically acclaimed luxury models including the Vantage, DB11, DBS and DBX and its first hypercar, the Aston Martin Valkyrie. 

Based in Gaydon, England, Aston Martin Lagonda designs, creates and exports cars which are sold in 55 countries around the world. Its sports cars are manufactured in Gaydon with its luxury DBX SUV range proudly manufactured in St Athan, Wales.

Lagonda was founded in 1899 and Aston Martin in 1913. The two brands came together in 1947 when both were purchased by the late Sir David Brown, and the company is now listed on the London Stock Exchange as Aston Martin Lagonda Global Holdings plc. 2020 saw Lawrence Stroll become the company’s Executive Chairman, alongside significant new investment, a move that led to Aston Martin’s return to the pinnacle of motorsport with the Aston Martin Cognizant Formula One™ Team and commenced new era for the iconic British marque.
