Caterham CEO says being able to build 750 cars a year is “game-changing” and allows expansion into new markets

Caterham will no longer need to “turn customers away”, CEO Bob Laishley has told Autocar, after opening a multi-million pound new base that will boost the British car maker’s production capacity by 50%. Labelled as a “game changer” which has “transformed the business in every way”, the headquarters is located just down the road from the firm’s former Dartford factory.

What’s more, the quality of the new site was summed up by Laishley as he recalled visiting the former factory for the final time: “Were we really working here?” Moving to the new global base was “a significant moment in our brand’s history”, he added. Mr Kazuho Takahashi, CEO of VT Holdings, one of Japan’s biggest retailers, said: “We are thrilled. This modern facility exemplifies VT Holdings' unwavering dedication and support for the iconic British sports car brand, Caterham.
