My last day at Noble...
Discussion
...was today.
With a good deal of regret the M15's preview day was also my last, and from Monday I will be taking up my new role as PR Manager for Bentley Motors in Crewe.
It's difficult to sum up just what a great experience working at Noble has been over the last (nearly) three years. I feel genuinely honoured to have worked with Lee and his team, and am pleased that I've had the opportunity to at least kick start press coverage of the M15.
You may ask why I've chosen to move at such an important time for Noble, and the simple answer is that sometimes you cannot predict when opportunities arise in the industry - and when they do, you have to give them serious consideration. I'm a car-nut, so as long as a brand fires my enthusiasm (which Bentley does) the temptation will always be to try something completely different.
Apologies for not informing you all earlier. Lee and I talked about this and we were both agreed that today's preview was such an important event for the company that nothing should detract from it. Hope you understand.
May I wish you all the best for the future. I feel sure that, whether you own a current model or are tempted by the M15 (and let's face it, there's a lot to be tempted by!) Noble is set to become one of the most important players in the British sports car industry.
Hope you don't mind if I still call in for a chat from time to time. And remember to check out evo, CAR and Autocar (among many others) on April 4/5, as well as www.noblecars.com, for all the M15 news!
Cheers,

Almost forgot. My temporary successor at Noble will be a chap called Nick Hall, a freelance motoring journalist, who will be looking after PR until Lee has appointed a permanent replacement.
Nick's a great bloke with a wealth of experience in the business. I'm sure he'll provide you with plenty of input on this forum after the M15 goes public.

Many congratulations on your new role - it sounds very exciting, I am envious and I wish you much success. As I have told you before you are (have been) an asset to Noble Automotive - they will need to look carefully for a replacement of equivalence!
Looking forward to seeing you at Goodwood perhaps and to a spin in a Conti - my favourite old boy's GT (but maybe you'll help to change that perception!)?!

Simon,
I think everyone will agree with me what a fantastic Press and PR job you have done for the Noble marque, your passion, professionalism and integrity will always be remembered. A real pro to the final day at Noble and your handling of the M15 launch (I'm sure you were invloved) complimented the car. (shtoom)
I'm sure you will do fantastic job with Bentley, give my regards to Adrian Halmark, and I hope I can bump into you at the odd motor show or two.
Cheers,
Ian.

Unlucky Simon, you get all the crap jobs don't you! Many thanks for your quick responses to my sometimes bizarre questions(like car seats!) when I was entering the Noblity.I'll be leaving soon as well, as it appears mine sold today . Very best of luck to one of the best adverts Noble could have had.
). You have set an outstanding communication standard for Noble that we in the colonies certainly want to see continue.
