Everyone is always welcome at GBS, last week the Home Secretary James Cleverly & Mark Spencer came to see us....

It’s always nice to welcome guests to the factory, and last week it was the turn of Home Secretary James Cleverly and our local MP Mark Spencer to pop by, along with large swathes of the UK media to see what it is we do here at GBS.

Mark Spencer has been a supporter of GBS for several years joining us at track days and other events and kept a keen eye on our growth. He asked if we would take the time to show Home Secretary James Cleverly, what we do as we are one of the only few UK family owned car manufactures left and the fact that we uniquely manufacture so much of the car in house.

Both Mark and James were kind enough to take some time to chat to the team, learn more about our vision for GBS as a truly British sports car, and see how we’re making our cars and looking as some of the new environmentally technologies we are working on.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank the UK GOV for their support within the manufacturing and automotive sectors and we look forward to the continued support from our government to allow GBS to thrive into the future with which ever party may be in power next.
