17 March 2023 – Gaydon, UK: Aston Martin has launched an all-new environment on its multi award-winning online configurator, welcoming customers to spec their own perfect car within the Aston Martin Aramco Cognizant Formula One™ Team’s pit garage.

In what is a world first amongst any automotive manufacturer, customers, fans, and dealer partners can now virtually specify any of Aston Martin’s breathtaking product range within the high-performance setting of a Formula 1® pit garage.

Launched ahead of the second Grand Prix of the season in Saudi Arabia, the new digital environment displays Aston Martin’s AMR23 challenger within the garage, allowing customers and fans to take inspiration from the pinnacle of motorsport engineering and design when bringing to life their bespoke interpretation of an Aston Martin.  

Following Fernando Alonso’s stunning podium finish at the season-opening Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix, the online configurator also proudly exhibits the third-placed trophy in exquisite 3D Ultra High Definition detail, allowing users to enjoy the team’s first silverware of the season, while having the ability to zoom in to explore every fine detail of the car.

Once the ultimate expression and interpretation of an Aston Martin has been created, customers and fans can download a personalised brochure of their configuration, share their favourite configurations to social media and choose to book a test drive at any point in the process.

Celebrating Aston Martin’s 110th anniversary, the configurator also allows users to experience its racing pedigree past and present, through an additional virtual environment of the historic Brooklands circuit, the location of the marque’s early forays into racing.

Renato Bisignani, Head of Global Marketing and Communications at Aston Martin said: “Offering a choice of exquisitely designed and Ultra High Definition backdrops – from studio environments to real locations – is a key ingredient to our award-winning configurators success, inspiring our customers to visualise their perfect Aston Martin across global locations, while taking inspiration from the thought-provoking back drops.

“With recent brand research revealing that almost 90% of our customers are passionate about Formula 1®, we believe this high-performance inspired environment will draw further synergies between track and road, allowing our customers to spec all of our models from within the Aston Martin Aramco Cognizant Formula One™ Team pit garage.

South West homeowners face seven-day waits for urgent repairs as tradie shortages continue to bite Fix Radio analysis shows the South West is among the slowest regions for urgent fixes, while Plymouth records one of the longest city-level waits in the UK The South West records an average 7-day wait for an urgent tradie fix. Plymouth records one of the longest city-level waits in the dataset, at 10 days. Across the 17 cities surveyed, the average wait for an urgent fix is just over 6 days. CITB says the UK construction industry needs to recruit the equivalent of 239,300 extra workers between 2025 and 2029. Analysis from Fix Radio shows that homeowners in the South West are facing an average seven-day wait for an urgent tradesperson fix, placing the region among the slower parts of the UK for repair response times. Based on Fix Radio’s analysis of city-level urgent repair wait-time data from Markel Direct’s Censuswide survey of UK homeowners, the findings point to continued pressure on trades capacity, local demand and labour availability across the region. The national picture remains highly uneven. The East of England records the shortest average wait at three days, followed by the North East on four days, the North West on 4.5 days and London on five. Wales and the South East each average six days, Yorkshire and the Humber sits at 6.5, while the South West, West Midlands, Scotland and Northern Ireland all come in at seven days. At the other end of the scale, the East Midlands records the longest average delay at nine days, leaving a six-day gap between the fastest and slowest regional averages in the dataset. The research also found that 44% of homeowners have already delayed repairs because of the cost of hiring a tradesperson, while city-level data shows waits stretching as high as 10 days in Plymouth for urgent issues. That makes the South West one of the clearest examples of how regional pressure can build when local demand, household repair needs and labour constraints begin to overlap. Set against a construction workforce already under strain, the figures point to a region where availability remains a growing issue for both customers and tradespeople. CITB forecasts that the industry will need to recruit the equivalent of 239,300 extra workers between 2025 and 2029, with the UK construction workforce expected to reach around 2.75 million by 2029. From Fix Radio’s perspective, the findings reflect a wider story around availability, local demand and the challenge of keeping enough skilled people in the pipeline. Waiting times are not only a sign of homeowner frustration. They also show where order books are full, where capacity is tight and where the wider conversation around skills and recruitment is becoming harder to ignore. In the South West, where regional averages are already above the national benchmark and Plymouth stands out as one of the slowest locations in the dataset, that pressure is becoming increasingly visible.
