The Duke, in his role as the UK’s Special Representative for International Trade and Investment, toured Autoglym’s newly-expanded manufacturing, warehouse and valeting school facilities in the company of Chief Executive Paul Caller and senior Altro representatives.
The Duke, who drove himself to Letchworth in a Jaguar XJR, chatted informally to staff and showed great interest in a display which included an Aston Martin V12 Vanquish S and a Honda F1 car – Autoglym is a supplier to both companies.
