Yesterday the GBS team were delighted to welcome 26 USA University Students to GBS for a full factory tour.

The undergraduate university students are enrolled in the the Virginia Tech, Rising Sophomore Abroad Program (RSAP) The students are all studying general engineering. We were contacted earlier in the year to see if we could accommodate them for a factory tour. They are currently in the UK for a summer trip that is part of their spring-semester class designed that introduces students to global engineering and science, emphasizes the importance of cultural competency for engineers and scientists, and focuses on how differences in cultural, social and economic contexts influence engineering and science in practice.

The tour was split into two groups and led by Richard and Matt which covered all areas of GBS including the workshop, design room, clean assembly room, engineering machine shop, parts and spares store and shop and then back to the showroom where it finished for more questions and answers. All the students enjoyed the visit and were impressed with what the GBS team do and offer.

We are making several tour slots available throughout the year, and this includes a full behind the scenes tour on how the Zero sports cars and products are made. Our tours last from anywhere between one and half hours to two hours , and usually take place on a Saturday morning but a weekday & Evening tour can take place on request if needed.
