Description
Mark Aston, during 28 years
working for the Morgan Motor Company Mark covered most areas of the business.
Working with Peter Morgan, he was directly responsible for factory management,
employment and development. As Assistant Managing Director, he also managed all
areas of customer service and purchasing. During the early 1990’s, Mark
switched main roles to concentrate on successfully moving Morgan from National
approval to European Whole Vehicle Approval. Developing and testing all areas
of the car. Then taking them on to US and other markets.
After the death of Peter Morgan Mark left Morgan and formed Marque
Approved Limited, which has been able to
help a wide range of Companies to develop their products and meet the
increasingly complicated approval requirements. Approval to Single Vehicle, Low
Volume, EU and US approval for L, M, Special Purpose, N and O categories. With
20 years as chairmen of the SMMTs Specialist Car Manufacturers Group, Mark is
working to improve the understanding of the effects of legislation on small
manufacturers and also the manufacturers understanding of the legislation
process. Currently working through several committees on the revised European
Whole Vehicle directive and other important changes using 40 years' experience
with small, specialist and larger manufacturers, Mark has been directly
involved in formulating areas of the EU and National approval requirements.
The talk will be hosted through Microsoft Teams and a link for the event will be sent out in the days leading up to the talk. This talk is brought to you by the IMechEs’ South Lancashire Young Members Panel. For any event enquirers please contact the SLYMP Chair at lloyd.woodhouse@member.imeche.org.
