Gaydon Headquarters

A Tailor-Made Location

Gaydon combines cutting-edge technology with hand-craftsmanship and traditional techniques. Comprising of an office block, adjoining production facility and a state-of-the-art design studio, Aston Martin's global headquarters provides an infrastructure ideally suited to innovation, creativity and advanced engineering.

Since opening in 2003 Gaydon has embodied the progress and structural growth made by Aston Martin over the past decade. With a diverse model range, designed, produced and supported within one location, Gaydon has allowed Aston Martin to develop into a globally respected brand.

Production - A Labour of Love

Gaydon is the birthplace of all contemporary Aston Martins. It is the passion and pride of our workforce, their meticulous execution of every detail that defines an Aston Martin. To convey the effort, skill and determination of our craftsmen and women or their pride when another piece of our unique artwork is ready for its owner is almost impossible. To see the Gaydon production facility in action is to know that every car and our future is in safe hands.

Design - Timeless Vision

All Aston Martins are initially sculpted by hand, shaping each line, measuring each dimension precisely and working to create perfect aesthetics. That human interface engenders our cars with perfect proportions, athletic confidence and the finest attention to detail. Every line must work in harmony, every surface flows seamlessly into the next.

Opened in 2007, the Gaydon Design studio is the company’s first stand-alone design facility. Providing a tailor-made space for the world-leading Aston Martin design team, the facility has enabled Aston Martin to tightly integrate its renowned design capability with the engineering and production processes already based at Gaydon.

Engineering - Advanced Technology

Beneath the skin of every model is the very foundation of Aston Martin: a lightweight, highly versatile and immensely strong aluminium chassis structure that is bonded with aerospace adhesives. This cutting-edge structure forms part of the Vertical-Horizontal or ‘VH’ philosophy. Unique to Aston Martin, it offers a highly evolved platform from which to create perfectly balanced, stable and intuitive cars.

The bespoke Gaydon facility has added increased this production and engineering flexibility, meaning all Aston Martins are now produced on one of three production lines. This strategy not only assures model consistency, but is also considered a key element for future engineering and product development. Still, Aston Martin remains a long way from being a mass-producer. Each car remains essentially hand built by craftsmen with decades of experience beneath their fingertips.
