Futurist in the press: Forward Thinking, Bentley Centennial Magazine

By Matthew Griffin Featured Futurist 27th June 2018

WHY THIS MATTERS IN BRIEF

There are very few companies that can say they are a hundred years old, and even fewer that are still at the pinnacle of their industry, Bentley is one of those exceptions.

Bentley was founded in 1919, and as they begin to celebrate their centennial year I was honoured to be asked to contribute to their cornerstone centennial article, Forward Thinking, published in Bentley’s owners magazine, where we look into the ways in which humanity is pushing the boundaries of old age, and forwards to a time where living beyond a century, for humans at least, is the norm, and not the exception. The article is available to view below.
