The face of current Bentley models wears the the signature of Stefan Sielaff, Director of Design at Bentley Motors. But there are also other people involved in designing a complete new car. One of them will be John Paul Gregory, recently named as its new Head of Exterior Design.
Having spent more than 8 years with Bentley, Gregory has been promoted from his previous role as Advanced Exterior Design Leader.
Before joining Bentley in 2008, Gregory spent four years as an Exterior Designer for Volkswagen in Wolfsburg, following completion of a Masters Degree in Automotive Design at Hochschule Pforzheim University in Germany. Prior to this he studied in his native UK, gaining an Honours Degree in Transportation Design at the University of Northumbria, England.
On Gregory’s promotion, Stefan Sielaff said: “John Paul’s experience at Bentley is invaluable. He brings a passion for the brand and a deep understanding of the direction we wish to go in. This is an important time for the company as we look ahead to new models with John Paul, alongside our highly-skilled design team, bringing many insights and ideas to inspire the next great Bentley.”
