What an ambassador for the brand. So knowledgeable, enthusiastic and passionate. You could listen to him all day and not get bored.
Absolutely! Lovely man
Hi baby iv love your show with cars.
Jon (the tour guide) is one of the nicest guys you'd meet and is super knowledgeable about Bentley. He's not just talking to Jodie, he's trying to give all the viewers an insight into our great company 😉
Absolutely!!! Great guy xx
How good was that, what amazing ambassadors all the teams were of the Bentley brand, wonderful
Great team! Glad you enjoyed xx
And they are not made in china
Really really wonderful Jodie. I really loved the genuine passion and pride the gentleman who showed you around has for Bentley and the processes of manufacturing. No corporate drone trotting out a script based tour but real enthusiasm and passion for his job.
My late uncle owned Rolls Royce’s and I went on a tour of the factory in Crewe back in the late seventies with him and this is just like that but with 21st technology added. It’s the people that really add the value to cars like this.
When you sit in one and understand the passion and dedication with which it was made it really makes a difference to how the car feels I think, romantic viewpoint? Well, I have always been an old romantic so yes, blame it on my ancestor, Robert Browning, I like to think a bit of him carried down the line and came out in me! :)
My favourite colour scheme for a Bentley, Barnato green paint with cricket ball red interior cross stitched in dark green thread with their new open pore walnut veneer and engine turned tunnel where the gear shift is!
That’s very kind of you! Which Rolls’ did your uncle own? Yes - such a special experience xx
@@KiddinaSweetShop thanks Jodie. He started with a Silver Cloud III in shell grey with a deep blue leather interior ( I remember all the colours of his cars and the Rolls ones by name!) then he had a series one Corniche in Silver Chalice with St James red interior and his last was a series II Shadow in Willow Gold with biscuit interior and the optional large front headrests.
In the Seventies through to the late eighties when he passed he also kept a 1930’s Lagonda drophead that we used to do rallies on, a Bug Eyed Sprite and his other big Auto passion, a succession of Saabs, 99 GLE then one of the first 99 Turbo’s in the UK in the classic black with red interior followed by a 900 and 9000 Turbos.
He taught me to drive in the GLE, Lagonda and Sprite and I took my advanced drivers test in the 900 Turbo.
Had so much fun back then with him and the cars. He had a huge old wooden barn in which he kept his cars and many a weekend in the winter months would find us stripping down various bits of the Lagonda or Sprite.
Interestingly though we lived in Devon all his Rolls came from Jack Barclay in London and I always got a buzz when I looked and the Jack Barclay kick plates when I opened the doors, it’s the little things eh!
Did the tour July 2019 prior to getting my new Conti GT, a truly eye opening experience, the fact that these are still hand made and seeing the amount of work that goes into it, is what makes these cars so special.
Ahh nice 👌🏼 such a special place xx
I started the video not sure what to make of the Bentley ambassador - but he's totally won me over. Someone that really knows his stuff and genuinely buys into the brand. Well done, sir! A great eposode.
He's a knowledgable man hey !x
Fantastic tour! I love how he calls everyone there his friend and colleague
Such respect for his workforce xx
That gives a very different perspective, the details of components are amazing. I do really like the fact the guy showing you around actually knows most of his colleagues by name and started him self on the floor (it´s to common today that the office is totally disconnected from the staff that does the real work), he was also really knowledgeable about all corners of the cars - much like Christian Von Koenigsegg, so maybe next tour will be in Angelholm, Sweden ?
Perhaps! 😉
Great to see the process. He’s extremely knowledgeable, a good guide for you.
Glad you think so!
Jody Kidd's a smasher
those calipers are ridiculously huge in real life, the video does it no justice
Fantastic insight..... But how many times did he say Jodie. 😃😃😃
about 500
Too many!
Once you notice it, Jodie, you can’t not notice it, Jodie 😂
Stirling Watching 🏴🥃🥃🏴
A tour and presentation of the only Bentley factory world wide is truly a special occasion. The marketing manager is a wonderful professional and ambassador for the storied brand. On the other hand, who turns up at the Bentley Plant for a VVIP presentation and tour in a hoodie and her daughter's jeans cut-offs ? Poor bird probably thought she was headed to Luton then Malaga for an experience of a lifetime.
I really enjoyed this, amazing knowledge from the guy showing you around. Talented humble people who work there.
So nice, very British very cool, Love it.
Thanks Jodie
Glad you enjoyed it xx
That’s really interesting. Great to see all those skills being preserved and the passion they all have for the Bentley brand.
Amazing right?! Glad you enjoyed xx
Best PR guy ever !
He really is!
Who would have ever thought that one of the best and well known supermodels will pitch up at one of the worlds most luxurious car manufacturers with shorts minimum “warpaint” (make-up)? That is what I like about you, Jodie. You can also see the real appreciation and interest on your face, one can not fake it. Love the content.
Superb Jodie, certainly makes you appreciate the brand a lot more!
Indeed! Incredible company xx
What you didn’t see on your tour is the way that the staff are treated. I suppose they wouldn’t have told you about how nearly 400 agency staff (most with over 3 years service and myself with 4.5 years service) were all laid off during Covid and staff with minimal service were kept on and retrained on processes which laid off staff with higher service knew how to do and were told they were laid off because these jobs were already covered.. a lot of staff that got laid off got brought back but their service wiped back to 0. This is so that they don’t have to hand out permanent contracts to people. They used the pandemic as a excuse to get around handing out upcoming contract conversions basically and they somehow pulled it off. The contract conversions that were handed out before I was laid off, I missed out on one by 4 weeks of service. Watching this video brings back so many good memories, I honestly loved working there and it’s a proper trip down memory lane for me but everything happens for a reason and I’ve now moved on I’m in earning over double than what I was there so it’s a happy ending to what was a horrible thing to go through 🙂
Just fantastic Jodie. Makes you proud to be British. What a knowledgeable guy. He’s so enthusiastic about the product and knows it inside out. Think the closest I’ll get to a Bentley could be a pair of the cast off leather gardening gloves
Thanks for your lovely comment xx
What a fascinating tour. I could easily have watched another hour of this and not been bored in the least. I’m 63 and have never been able to afford one of these lovely vehicles but have always admired them from a far. They are truly a masterpiece and a marriage of artistic beauty and technology. Great to be able to watch behind the scenes.
Wow Jodie that was the best car build tour l have ever seen. Makes you feel proud to be British. Would love to be able to afford one. Thank you.
Beautifully made aren't they!xx
Outstanding from the Host and Presenter!
Thank you so much xx
Form is temporary.
Class is permanent !!
Super cool to see the pride of the workers.
It really was !xx
Thanks Jodie! This is a great insight into what our customers experience on the tour.
Absolutely brilliant,, that guy is a superstar,, 🎉
He really is! So knowledgeable xx
Excellent guy from Bentley showing you around Jodie.
Lovely man! Xx
Amazing attention to the most minute detail. Makes your appreciate the term hand built and the quality Bentley demand. Also you understand why the cost of these vehicles is so high. Amazing insight and a cracking watch. Thank you Jodie and Bentley! 🙏🏼
So true! Glad you enjoyed xx
I loved this , you and many others on You Tube are the reason i dont watch television anymore
Keep up the amazing work you are doing
A fascinating tour and it creates a new appreciation for the marque. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it xx
He sounds so proud and enthusiastic!👍
He really is xx
My gosh what a tour and the craftsmanship skills are just incredible. Well done
Glad you enjoyed it Bryan! Such a special place xx
Watching all those highly skilled workers who obviously have a real love and passion for the Bentley brand is beautiful to see. Great video again Jodie.
Isn’t it just! Glad you enjoyed xx
Amazing video Jodie. I forget your tour guide’s name (was it John?) - he toured me around and was amazing. When we went to the dept. where they stitch the leather onto the steering wheels the worker there asked us how we thought they placed the stitches an equal distance apart. We all thought there’d be some fancy measuring tool, but instead the guy pulled a bog standard table fork out of his top pocket and pressed it into the leather to give 5 equally spaced dimples to puncture!
Just shows you don't need all fanciest tools in the world for amazing craftsmanship! x
I like the guys passion. I didn't expect to watch the whole episode, he made that happen.
Bloody Fascinating .. excellent as always Jodie.. thank you..
Thanks so much xx
what a wonderful tour - good for you.
As a kid in London I used to be taken to school in an R-type - different era but the ethos was always there.
Thanks
Trevor
Wow how amazing xx
@@KiddinaSweetShop I am of course immensely jealous - but I've had a life around Jaguars and Bentleys, and I love the fact that you are able to help us continue to indulge that dream.
Blessings
Trevor
I was fortunate to have a tour of this production and it is truly amazing. For me, the key highlights were the wood department and leather upholstery department … true craftsmanship as is the whole car
Absolutely fascinating! Another superb production, thanks so very much Jodie x
Thank you so much! Xx
Thanks jodie I have taken the tour with you.many thanks god bless 🙏
🙌🏼🙌🏼
Goodness me Jodie, thank you and all the ladies and gents at Bentley for this incredible insight!
Perfection personified.
Will do! Thanks Russel xx
Ooooh loved that. I love seeing British master craftspeople at work. Brilliant!
Amazing isn’t it xx
Fantastic insight to how Bentleys are put together.
I did count 146 "Jodies" though 🤣😂🤣
😂😂😂
We tried to make a drinking game out of it, but nobody made it to the end. That's a lot of Jodies!
A spellbinding half an hour, what an operation. Aston Martin need heavy investment like that too. Great film Jodie
Thank you! Special place xx
Not really my style of vehicle, and I’ll probably never be able to afford one, but I think the world is a better place for having crafts people building vehicles and other things with skilled hands and taking pride in their work. Thank you Jodie. Once again an excellent video.
It certainly is! Glad you enjoyed xx
What an amazing knowledge & passion does this guy have , would love a Bentley !
He was brilliant on the tour xx
The combination of German quality and British craftsmanship. Really good to go round with an extremely good guide and a knowledgeable petrol head like you Jodie. This just has to be one of your very best videos. 👍
Thanks so much for the lovely support xx
Jodie, this is the second video I watched and I am very pleased with your carisma, your style is very refreshing.
Thank you! Hope you enjoy looking back at some of my previous episodes xx
Absolutely fascinating! Thank you so much for this inside look!
Glad you enjoyed xx
Great to see handbuilt cars
Really is xx
Another great and Amazing
Vid From The Kidd!
Jodie you have such a gift!
The way you are with who ever you with or interviewing you make them so relaxed that each episode is endearing to watch and interesting at the same time a true gifted genuine person and is a great show and i can only see this being the start of an Amazing journey for you and my god you deserve it girl!
God bless Pauly xx
Thank you so much Paul, very kind words xx
Amazing best out there Jodie 😊
Thank u so much for this tour and upload. Always love Brits, so gentle and positive and down to earth being very aware what's going ... the move to hybrid is pretty smart. And gosh the wood workshop ... blew my mind as living on a 62 year old wooden two master it's a pleasure to see these unique wood materials. Dont have enough words to appreciate your passion and perfection. The cherry on the cake to let certify Jodie a car in its final stage knowing that she cant find any bigger weak spot.
Must say; Jodie is a super friendly, realy good and enthousiast interviewer. Nice job! Also; the Bentley guy is one hell of charismatic and well spoken brand ambassador. Cool to hear that he once started in the trim department. Not a Bentley guy myself; but you got to love the craftmanship and level of detail that get into these cars. Impressive!
A superb video and what a fabulous insight into the great craftsmanship within Bentley. I love the fact that everyone was introduced as my “friend and colleague” Good to see this level of respect within the workplace👍👍
Thank you Paul! Indeed - lovely place xx
A truly wonderful behind the scenes at what it takes to manufacture one of the most special cars in the world. I am happy when I find videos made this well, for it goes to show all those non-car people around the world that criticize the high prices these high-end cars command. I’ve actually heard people say a “car is a car, why are these cars so expensive?” Well, this is why, now you understand why cars like Bentleys, Lamborghinis, Ferraris, etc. etc. demand the prices that they do. Thank you Jodie for this wonderful video.
So true! Glad you enjoyed xx
@@KiddinaSweetShop ❤️ ☺️
Went around there a few year ago when dad has his Bentley, what a place and the meal laid on was great in the suite
Great video, enjoyed it Jodie.. i recommend the Aston martin factory next, that’s also a great day x
Ah nice! Maybe an idea for a future episode xx
Congratulations on getting a guided tour of the Bentley factory and for bringing it to us to se also 😀
Thanks Richard! Hope you enjoyed xx
Fab video jodie brought back memories of when I went to jag factory back in 96 97 with dave from wath jaguar spares in South Yorkshire loved it 😀 👍
Thank you xx
I enjoyed the wood that is used in the cars. Beautiful. A friend of mine used to varnish/lacquer custom cabinets in Greece in his shop. He would do beautiful work.
I bet he did xx
Great to see what process is done to make a car, especially luxurious cars. I used to watch a programme on television called Mega Factories and Bentley was on it on one episode and makes you realise just how much work goes into quality rather than quantity. I think I'd like to do the inspection job too as I'm a bit OCD with things like that lol. Another great video with great content. Keep them coming Jodie, can't wait to see the next one.
Oh nice! Bentley do such a great job. Thanks so much for the support xx
Loved Mega Factories as well!
Wow what an excellent walk a round Bentley something you will never see
Thanks again Kidd in a sweet shop from down under👍👍🇦🇺
Thank you Paul! So glad you enjoyed xx
Fantastic to see all the processes that go into every Bentley and all the incredible skills of the people who work there.Yet another great video.x
Thank you Jason! Fascinating place xx
You can definitely see where your money goes, when buying a Bentley. Your genuine interest makes these videos 👏
Thank you! Fascinating place xx
Well that was a treat for you and we were very fortunate to share your visit . When you inspect the exterior look at it from at least a metre away , you'll see a flaw much easier and then you can get close up to confirm the fault . I have no doubt that you are the perfect perfectionist !! Thanks Jodie .
Thanks for your lovely feedback xx
Such great craftsmanship and quality. Fantastic behinds the scene tour
Indeed! Xx
Proper British craftsmanship! That was interesting and educational, what more can one ask for? PS: I so want to smell the room of wood veneers!
What a smell!! Xx
That was really cool getting to see "behind the scene" at Bentley's factory! Thanks Jodie!
It was a fantastic tour, learned so much x
Great video as always Jodie, this Channel just gets better every time you post!
Thank you so much for the support xx
I always knew that the Bentley brand was second to none but all the stats for the components, hides, veneer etc. is incredible! Absolutely brilliant video.
Thanks for your comment xx
Things done right!
Absolutely xx
Pure class.
Absolutely beautiful tour, a real eye candy! Thanks a million Jody!
Glad you enjoyed it xx
Always like Jodie's vids, She has such a positive outlook and delivers quality not quantity..... Bit like Bentley.
Thanks JK

Fascinating tour around the factory. Real passion, hard work, and expertise being shown by the staff.
So glad you enjoyed it xx
Jodie, brilliant as usual. How fascinating to see the inner workings of the factory. Thank you 🙏🏾
Glad you enjoyed it Reg ❤️
Quite a different one, Jodie! Great to see you diversifying and that an OEM like Bentley has you on their radar as they rightly should 😉
Thanks for taking me along 👍
Welcome! Xx
When the day comes where I get to choose 😉 I've always said I would choose a Bentley over a RR. Exquisite 👌. I'm also loving his enthusiasm and knowledge of the product 👏! Most certainly the right person to fly the flag for Bentley.
Me too! I agree Lewis xx
What a lovely episode Jodie ! I have sent you something c/o the pub - hope you like it !!
Thanks so much, what a lovely gift xx
This time we are truly in a sweet shop! Awesome content. Thanks for this unique look behind the scenes. Well done. Keep it coming.
Glad you enjoyed! Living up to the channel name haha xx
Another great video, love watching your videos , not just for the cars but the enthusiasm of the people in them , wether professionals like this one or the Brian Johnson’s of the motoring world or indeed yourself, good to watch .Thanks and regards Davy 🏴 XXX
So glad you’re enjoying the channel xx
Fascinating film, what an incredible process
Great Jodie a very good Kidd in a Sweet Shop very informative. You should see if the person wants appear on a future Kidd in a Sweet Shop.😊
Thanks for your support xx
This would have to be the most enthusiastic presentation of the production process of Bentley motor cars. I am amazed at how these motor vehicles are built with the quality of workmanship and obvious pride of the workers.
It’s an incredible place Gordon! Xx
It's the most enthusiastic presentation I've ever seen of _any_ car. This gentleman is a credit to the firm. Knowing every process, the names of the craftspeople, and having a genuine enthusiasm.
That was absolutely brilliant to watch, thank you Jodie ❤️🙏👍
Thank you xx
Fantastic video.... ! Fabulous...
Thank you Jodie...xx
Glad you enjoyed the episode Mark! Xx
Well Done Jodie!! This is fascinating to see!!!! See if you can get into Rolls or Lotus next!
Thanks Bazil, lets see ! xx
Excellent video Jodie 📹 👏, great to see such craftsmanship! It's that special combination of modern technology AND a skilled person, a trained eye! Cheers, Steve 😊
Unreal attention to detail x
Hi Jodie …wow…Good grief what an absolutely amazing place and what a humble and well thought out tour Bentley laid on for you . I loved the guys enthusiasm about everything was kinda magnetic , I really really really enjoyed this so much I’m gonna watch it again now ….
Thank you 🙏👍
Fantastic isn’t it! Haha thanks, glad you enjoyed it first time round 😉 xx
Brilliant video Jodie very interesting.thanks for making it.
Glad you enjoyed it Mike!
Fascinating process and the W12 engine is amazing out of the vehicle. Great tour, thanks Jodie!
Isn't it just xx
drinking game for every time the bentley guy says Jodi lol
😉
The pride, passion, enthusiasm and most of all the skill of the craftsmen /crafts women all under one roof keeping the old school way of doing things and traditions alive, a rare thing nowadays, pleasure to watch thanks for the upload.
Glad you enjoyed the tour xx
Superb video, thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it xx
Sehr informatives Video, Danke junge Frau .....!
Fascinating video, and what a wonderful tour guide, he really knows his stuff and his enthusiasm is boundless. I can't believe it only takes two days to assemble one of these cars, from the build records of my Turbo R it took nearly two months to do that back in 1995!
Incredible progress Ben! Xx
