Aston Martin Lagonda Global Holdings plc

Founded in London in 1913 by Lionel Martin and Robert Bamford, Aston Martin is headquartered in Gaydon, England. The company designs, manufactures and exports luxury performance cars, with sports cars produced in Gaydon and the DBX707 SUV range built in St Athan, Wales.

Its portfolio spans sports cars, grand tourers, SUVs, limited-production specials and the Valhalla plug-in hybrid supercar. The business is particularly strong in design-led ultra-luxury positioning, bespoke personalisation and the engineering transfer between road cars and motorsport, including its Formula 1 and World Endurance Championship associations.

For students, early-career opportunities extend beyond engineering into commercial operations, HR, IT, procurement and other corporate functions. The latest annual report also shows a company undergoing operational and financial restructuring, making it a relevant environment for applicants interested in transformation, premium-brand strategy and manufacturing economics.
