When I was at the RCA the floor above the School of Ceramics was Automotive Design.Here some amazing weird and wonderful concepts were drawn and subsequent models made. I know many of the the more gifted graduates were lucky enough to be scooped up by the likes of mercedes/porsche etc to work as part of their respective design teams.
Matts story is unique because he was fortunate (and yes,lets not forget lucky) enough to find a CEO that had the nerve, and foresight, in what is a massively traditional company, to give him a once in a lifetime opportunity.
To Matts credit he grabbed this chance with both hands and as a result has made a really unique contribution to MMC's future.
The interview is super and embodies the best of British ---a golden opportunity with the right man in place----Well done Matt and Charles --keep up the good work.
