The team was created in 2002, when it only included four people and currently has 30 people working across two shifts. This is the most international department in the company, including employees from the UK, the U.S., Portugal, Ukraine, Germany and Poland.
“I am delighted to confirm that we have expanded our Leathershop. Every one of our cars is hand built to order and the interiors are handcrafted by experts. By increasing the size of our Leathershop team we are reintroducing craft skills that, in many cases, would otherwise have lain dormant or been lost completely,” said Torsten Muller-Otvos, CEO, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. “If production continues at the current rate, and all indicators at this stage are positive, we will need to increase the team further in due course.”
The current members of the team come from a variety of industries, including saddlery, ladies lingerie, upholstery, couture work and sail making. Rolls-Royce is looking for people who have skills in the field, but doesn’t necessarily require machinist experience.
“Potential candidates should have suitable skills but do not need to currently be working as a machinist. Skills gained in a previous role or as a hobbyist could be appropriate and full and extensive training will be provided.
