What an ambassador for the brand. So knowledgeable, enthusiastic and passionate. You could listen to him all day and not get bored.

Jon (the tour guide) is one of the nicest guys you'd meet and is super knowledgeable  about Bentley. He's not just talking to Jodie, he's trying to give all the viewers an insight into our great company 😉

How good was that, what amazing ambassadors all the teams were of the Bentley brand, wonderful

Really really wonderful Jodie. I really loved the genuine passion and pride the gentleman who showed you around has for Bentley and the processes of manufacturing. No corporate drone trotting out a script based tour but real enthusiasm and passion for his job.

My late uncle owned Rolls Royce’s and I went on a tour of the factory in Crewe back in the late seventies with him and this is just like that but with 21st technology added. It’s the people that really add the value to cars like this.

When you sit in one and understand the passion and dedication with which it was made it really makes a difference to how the car feels I think, romantic viewpoint? Well, I have always been an old romantic so yes, blame it on my ancestor, Robert Browning, I like to think a bit of him carried down the line and came out in me! :)
My favourite colour scheme for a Bentley, Barnato green paint with cricket ball red interior cross stitched in dark green thread with their new open pore walnut veneer and engine turned tunnel where the gear shift is!

Did the tour July 2019 prior to getting my new Conti GT, a truly eye opening experience, the fact that these are still hand made and seeing the amount of work that goes into it, is what makes these cars so special.

I started the video not sure what to make of the Bentley ambassador - but he's totally won me over.  Someone that really knows his stuff and genuinely buys into the brand.  Well done, sir!  A great eposode.

That gives a very different perspective, the details of components are amazing. I do really like the fact the guy showing you around actually knows most of his colleagues by name and started him self on the floor (it´s to common today that the office is totally disconnected from the staff that does the real work), he was also really knowledgeable about all corners of the cars - much like Christian Von Koenigsegg, so maybe next tour will be in Angelholm, Sweden ?

This guy talks to Jodie like I talk to my granddaughter….”This car Jodie, this car is going to Montenegro! Do you know where Montenegro is Jodie?”

Should have introduced the guy.

And he should have been told that your audience is more sophisticated than the average non-car person

I was born and grew up in Crewe, lucky enough to get a factory tour about 5 years ago finally, I'm amazed every time I watch tour videos I never see anybody I know.

That leather workshop must’ve smelled like heaven!

What a wonderful docu... thank you for having the door open !

those calipers are ridiculously huge in real life, the video does it no justice

Thanks Jodie! This is a great insight into what our customers experience on the tour.

What a fascinating tour. I could easily have watched another hour of this and not been bored in the least. I’m 63 and have never been able to afford one of these lovely vehicles but have always admired them from a far. They are truly a masterpiece and a marriage of artistic beauty and technology. Great to be able to watch behind the scenes.

drinking game for every time the bentley guy says Jodi lol

That’s really interesting. Great to see all those skills being preserved and the passion they all have for the Bentley brand.

I like the guys passion. I didn't expect to watch the whole episode, he made that happen.

I was fortunate to have a tour of this production and it is truly amazing. For me, the key highlights were the wood department and leather upholstery department … true craftsmanship as is the whole car

What you didn’t see on your tour is the way that the staff are treated. I suppose they wouldn’t have told you about how nearly 400 agency staff (most with over 3 years service and myself with 4.5 years service) were all laid off during Covid and staff with minimal service were kept on and retrained on processes which laid off staff with higher service knew how to do and were told they were laid off because these jobs were already covered.. a lot of staff that got laid off got brought back but their service wiped back to 0. This is so that they don’t have to hand out permanent contracts to people. They used the pandemic as a excuse to get around handing out upcoming contract conversions basically and they somehow pulled it off. The contract conversions that were handed out before I was laid off, I missed out on one by 4 weeks of service. Watching this video brings back so many good memories, I honestly loved working there and it’s a proper trip down memory lane for me but everything happens for a reason and I’ve now moved on I’m in earning over double than what I was there so it’s a happy ending to what was a horrible thing to go through 🙂
