Rolls Royce has appointed Giles Taylor as its new design director. He replaces Ian Cameron, who has held the post since 1999. Taylor brings with him an immense wealth of experience having being the executive designer for Jaguar for 10 years. He joined the Rolls-Royce design team as head of exterior design in 2011 and will now report to BMW's senior VP for design Adrian van Hooydonk. Ian Cameron, who has been with BMW since 1992, will remain with the BMW group dedicating his time to Rolls-Royce global heritage matters as brand ambassador till his retirement in April next year.
Torsten Müller-Ötvös, CEO of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, said "I would like to thank Ian Cameron for his contribution to the resurgence of the Rolls-Royce marque. His legendary design capabilities combined with his passion for the company's distinguished heritage have made him an integral part of the success of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars since the brand was acquired by the BMW Group. As his successor, Giles Taylor has a deep knowledge of emotive brands in the luxury segment and a proven track record, and is the perfect choice to lead the Rolls-Royce design team to future success."
