It has been announced today that Toby Silverton, the Managing Director of
Bristol Cars, is stepping down in order to concentrate on his aviation
businesses.
William Chia, Director of Bristol Automotive Group and Group Director of
Operations of Frazer-Nash, said: "We would like to take this opportunity to
thank Toby for helping us during the crucial transition period since we became
guardians of the Bristol Cars marque in April and we're delighted that we will
still have access to his input should the need arise. This is an exciting
chapter in the company's history in which we are investing in the development of
new Bristol cars adopting Frazer-Nash's green technology as well as in the
Kensington showroom, which will continue to sell the best selection of cars from
Bristol's magnificent 65 year history."
Mr Silverton added: "I am profoundly optimistic about Bristol's future. The
next-generation technology, engineering resource and investment that Bristol now
has access to will ensure that the new cars live up to their high tech heritage.
I am looking forward to returning full-time to head up my interests in the
aviation industry and will be pleased to assist Bristol Cars in whatever way I
can."
The appointment of a new General Manager of Bristol Cars will be announced soon.
In the meantime, it is very much business as usual.
