The brand’s DBX707 will enter full production later this quarter at the plant in South Wales, with more than 100 new skilled automotive technicians required to support it.

Tobias Moers, chief executive officer of Aston Martin Lagonda said: “As we ramp-up production of DBX707, we are delighted to have the opportunity to increase our team at St Athan and create more employment opportunities for the local community.

“Our DBX SUV is the first Welsh-built production car for nearly 50 years and these new positions are an opportunity to join a team delivering our truly incredible new DBX707 derivative which is setting new benchmarks for performance in the luxury segment.”
