The move is effective immediately. Bruce joins McLaren Automotive with more than 15 years’ Public Relations and Communications experience, most recently at Nissan’s luxury brand, Infiniti, where he was responsible for establishing its Communications function across Europe. Previously he also worked for Nissan, SEAT and Volkswagen. Prior to working in PR, Bruce was an automotive journalist with UK based CAR magazine. He will report to McLaren Automotive’s Sales and Marketing Director, Greg Levine, and also to McLaren Marketing’s Group Head of Communications and PR, Matt Bishop.

He brings with him not just the respect of the industry but also a wealth of relevant experience and knowledge. Wayne is a petrolhead, too, a vital qualification for working at McLaren Automotive.” In reply, Bruce said: “I have been watching the launch of the MP4-12C from the outside and to be invited to join the team who have already achieved so much was an opportunity that I couldn’t refuse. Especially at this point in time when McLaren Automotive is entering the next chapter in its exciting story.” Bruce succeeds Mark Harrison, who recently took the post of Regional Director for McLaren Automotive Middle East and Africa, and will be located at the McLaren Technology Centre in Southern England.

THE 2014 AMELIA ISLAND CONCOURS D'elegance HONORS FIFTY YEARS of Mclaren
Event Information Tickets Visitors Guide Charity Sponsors News & Media Gallery THE 2014 AMELIA ISLAND CONCOURS D'ELEGANCE HONORS FIFTY YEARS OF McLAREN From the collection of Michael Keyser McLaren's 50th anniversary will be celebrated at the 19th annual Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance on March 9, 2014, with a display of rare and significant McLaren racers from five decades of competition. McLarens were not only victorious in the world's richest and most prestigious races, the company changed motorsport through a relentless pursuit of perfection and brought a strictly professional approach to a sport that had been more of a glamorous hobby than a true business. Today McLaren is still the only marque to win the Formula 1™ Constructors' Championship, the Indianapolis 500, the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the Can- Am Championship. "McLaren's racing record is without equal," said Bill Warner, Founder and Chairman of the Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance. "The company is about quality and excellence in every component of the car, their execution, preparation and presentation." To celebrate 50 years of McLaren, the Amelia Island Concours will include 2014 Honoree Jochen Mass' 1977 McLaren M23 Formula 1 racer as part of the "Cars of Jochen Mass" class. This historic Cosworth-powered M23 took Mass to second place in the 1977 Swedish Grand Prix at the 2.497 mile Anderstorp circuit. McLaren's racing history includes a list of landmark victories which are a testament to the company's groundbreaking performance. Bruce McLaren Motor Racing Ltd. was created in 1963 by Bruce McLaren after he drove for Cooper Cars, winning the 1959 and 1960 Formula 1 Constructors' Championship and winning the 1962 Monaco Grand Prix.

From Pit Lanes to Polished Marble How a Reclusive Race Team Took on the Most Desirable Brands on the Planet
Marketing Society Excellence Awards 2013 FROM PIT LANES TO POLISHED MARBLE HOW A RECLUSIVE RACE TEAM TOOK ON THE MOST DESIRABLE BRANDS ON THE PLANET Category: F – Brand Extension Brand: McLaren Automotive Agency: VCCP London McLaren Automotive Brand Extension 1 Author: Rob Dougan EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Ferrari. Lamborghini. Even their names, written simply in black and white evoke strong emotions. In an industry defined by desirability their products are positively worshipped. Their images have hung on bedroom walls around the world for over 50 years, vying for space alongside the other classic icons of desire; bond girls and supermodels. McLaren™ is nothing at all like its super car competition. Their mission has traditionally been winning races. Notoriety for McLaren™ always came in the form of sporting success not brand success - they were there to build sponsors brands, not their own. To most, a Formula One™ team moving into road cars might seem like the most natural thing in the world. That’s just not the case. Surprisingly, the differences between the businesses far outweigh the similarities. The business model, scale, place, brand mindset and audience are all entirely different. In understanding the audience we realised that it was the stories within McLaren’s heritage that were by far the most valuable transfer to the road – not the technology as we’d initially imagined. Our job was to fuel the myth and ensure it was steeped into every part of the new supercar brand. McLaren™ had typically set itself a monumental challenge – develop a brand to take on the might of Ferrari and Lamborghini.

It is a key sector and a global R&D focus point with £3.75bn invested in 2019, yet government ambitions for phasing out the sale of internal combustion engine vehicles at some point in the 2030s mean the next few months will be critical in determining its future. The Government has pledged that by 2050 the UK will be a ‘net zero’ emitter of CO2. Emissions have reduced since 1990 and the UK has done well so far in meeting its CO2 reduction targets. However, at present, the UK is set to fall behind by 2023. Now that coal-fired power stations have closed down and we have started to use much more natural gas and renewable energy, road transport is one of the biggest CO2 emitters. We need to reduce this, and quickly. While a clear and achievable target for ending the sale of petrol and diesel cars is vital for the industry to prepare for a managed transition to a cleaner future, we should not be fooled into thinking this alone will solve the problem.

Investing in the low carbon journey: Lessons from the first decade of UK policy on the road to 2050 Executive Summary A decade of achievement A decade ago the UK automotive sector was in a state of decline and a continuation of this trend was seen as inevitable in many circles. Factory and company closures were commonplace, innovation levels were modest, the UK supply chain had become ‘hollowed out’, and environmental regulations were seen as a threat by the industry.
