Here at Enstone, tucked away in the lush green Oxfordshire countryside, we’ve been delving a little deeper to find out more about some of the staff that make Lotus Renault GP what it is.
15years
Luca MAZZOCCO
Marketing account manager
Marketing account manager Luca Mazzocco has worked at Enstone for 15 years and is the longest serving member of the marketing team.
“As soon as I came here in 1996… I felt very comfortable. It’s very friendly, very open here. Obviously at work you need to have a system - people give orders and people execute them. But people know they are free to express themselves and present new and different ways of doing things.”
Luca says that, ultimately, this openness is responsible for the success of the team: “The enstone-based team is not just the same core of people, otherwise - inevitably - it would grow old and die. It’s a mix of new blood too and fresh new approaches are equally important. Despite management changes, I haven’t seen any change in this friendliness and openness.”
As Luca’s job is to look after clients - he travels not just to many of the F1 races, but also to testing, car launches and other sponsorship commitments where he entertains VIP guests - this accessibility is invaluable: “Even if the mechanics are super busy working on the car they still make time to make clients feel at home and feel part of the team. It’s the same in the factory. It’s clearly because people here love what they do and are proud of their work. Nobody is pointing a machine gun at them, people work late because they love their jobs and because they understand what it means to be part of a team. You couldn’t exist in a place like this if you didn’t love what you do.”
