Currently reading: Exclusive: Aston Martin in talks to hire ex-Ford boss Armstrong
Brit Steven Armstrong, previously Ford of Europe chairman, is tipped to join Aston Martin as a consultant

Aston Martin is in talks to recruit former senior Ford executive Steven Armstrong, Autocar can exclusively reveal.

Armstrong, who retired from Ford at the end of last year, aged 58, held senior positions with the firm in Africa, China, Europe, India, the Middle East, North America and South America. He was also COO at Volvo when it was sold to Geely, now itself a minority shareholder in Aston Martin.

It's expected that the Brit - who took on a series of non-executive appointments across different industries upon retirement - would join the firm in a consultancy role only.

Such a move would put him in line to work with former Ferrari boss Amedeo Felisa.
