FOUR DECADES
IN THE
AUTOMOTIVE
INDUSTRY:
STEPHEN
NORMAN
REFLECTS ON HIS
CAREER
BY ROB HARVEY
There are very few people who can say they’ve helped shape the automotive industry across
multiple decades. However, one of those few is a long-time friend and customer of Bridge
Classic Cars, Stephen Norman.
From his early days at British Leyland to marketing Volkswagen in its golden era and later
helping to lead Renault’s EV push, he has seen, and influenced, some of the biggest shifts in the
car world.
I sat down with Stephen for an open conversation about his journey into the industry, how
things have changed, and what he sees coming next.
