British supercar maker McLaren Automotive Ltd. has appointed Chief Operating Officer Mike Flewitt as chief executive officer, effective immediately.
Flewitt joined the company in May 2012 as chief operating officer, a title that has now been eliminated. Chairman Ron Dennis had been acting as de facto chief executive.
He previously spent nine years at Ford Motor Co., most recently as vice president of manufacturing for that company's European operations. Flewitt's earlier assignments were in manufacturing and operations at TWR Group Ltd., AutoNova, Rolls-Royce and Bentley Motor Cars.

Shifting Landscape of Technology Is a Never-Ending Education
Brent Donaldson, Senior Editor, Modern Machine Shop and Additive Manufacturing Magazine discusses how the shifting landscape of technology that all of Gardner’s writers and editors cover is a never-ending education. If we are truly doing our jobs, we will never feel like we’ve mastered them. As I continue writing and reporting for AM and MMS, it’s easy to imagine how these technologies’ interdependency will continue to grow. It also seems clear that this kind of reporting — the kind that requires editors to experience and share new manufacturing technologies and strategies — is the kind of reporting that only Gardner can produce with any depth. I’m grateful to be part of it.
