Rolls-Royce Resumes Second-Shift Production At Its Goodwood Plant

Rolls-Royce Motor Cars has resumed full two-shift production at its plant in Goodwood, West Sussex. The move means that the marque is now operating at pre-lockdown levels, with the workforce maintained and all manufacturing staff on site. Strict health, safety and hygiene measures remain in place, in line with the latest official guidance.

The resumption of the second shift comes just two weeks after the global launch of new Rolls-Royce Ghost and the demand for cars continues to develop across markets worldwide.
