Rolls-Royce now hosts ducks at its Goodwood site

Rolls-Royce has welcomed some very special new residents to its 17-hectare site at Goodwood, a group of 15 ducks, rescued and reared by a U.K. wildlife hospital.

The new arrivals include a family of seven siblings. In April, they were found wandering the on‑site car park, without their mother, by Security Guard James Caffrey. The ducklings were monitored from afar over several hours, but the mother failed to return. After taking professional advice, James and his colleagues went into action to ensure the orphans' survival.

Once carefully captured, the ducklings were transferred to Brent Lodge Wildlife Hospital located in nearby Sidlesham, U.K., where they were successfully reared to adulthood.

The family, augmented by a further eight ducks also found and rescued locally, have now returned to the Home of Rolls-Royce. They have taken up residence on the lakes that form part of the manufacturing plant's sustainable cooling system.

The ducks travelled from Brent Lodge to Goodwood in a Rolls-Royce Cullinan, demonstrating the true breadth of the super-luxury SUV's versatility.
