Two apprentices from Electrical Engineering in Gaydon set themselves the ambitious task of visiting 11 of our UK sites – within a period of 24 hours – to mark the 10-year anniversary of the first Range Rover Evoque rolling off the production line.
Brennan Downes and Lauren Overton, both Digital Technology Solutions degree apprentices, took on the 338-mile trip in a personal 2011 Colima Lime Evoque, to visit the sites including Fen End, Castle Bromwich, Solihull as well Evoque’s spiritual home in Halewood.
The duo undertook the trip on 22 December, 2021, starting out at our Software Development Centre in Manchester and completing the roadshow in around 11 hours at the National Automotive Innovation Centre at the University of Warwick stopping at many sites along the way.
The pair were inspired to celebrate the success and influence of the Range Rover Evoque across the last 10 years and described their road trip as a truly rewarding experience.
July 2021 marked 10 years since the first Range Rover Evoque rolled off the production line in Halewood and since its launch, remains the fastest selling Land Rover of all time.
