UK Prime Minister David Cameron Visits McLaren’s Brand-New Production Centre

UK Prime Minister David Cameron Visits McLaren To Open Brand-New Production Centre. Ron Dennis (Executive Chairman, McLaren Group and McLaren Automotive) outlines McLaren’s ambitions for 2012 and beyond.

Just like our racing cars, the McLaren Group never stands still – and you may like some of the pioneering new directions we’re taking.

McLaren is more than just a builder of beautiful and successful Formula 1 cars: we’re a relentlessly competitive entity, bred on high-performance and determined to bring to market ground-breaking products and solutions that are set apart by their top quality and dependence on totally unique and highly innovative steps in performance.

To take just one example, we’re poised on the verge of a hugely exciting automotive programme with our high-performance sports car, MP4-12C.

And today’s visit to McLaren by Prime Minister the Rt Hon David Cameron MP is a statement of intent: that we’re committed to building a homegrown sports car manufacturer to take on the likes of Europe’s and North America’s giants.

But that’s not all.

Through everything we do, we’re absolutely dedicated to fostering the rebirth of one of Great Britain’s industrial cornerstones: beautiful and meticulously crafted high-tech industrial design and manufacture.

Design and manufacturing have been at the backbone of British industry for more than 100 years, and are activities that we as a company not only passionately believe in, but consider of primary importance to the future economic growth and recovery of the United Kingdom.

It’s a philosophy that is at the cornerstone of McLaren Group chairman Ron Dennis’s view for the future of the Group.
