Aston Martin announced on Friday that Yew Tree Consortium, led by chair Lawrence Stroll, has raised its stake in the business by a further 3.27%.

The investment takes Yew Tree's holding in the business to 26.23%.

"This additional investment demonstrates the Yew Tree Consortium's continuing confidence and belief in the future of Aston Martin," Stroll said.

This increased investment demonstrates our continuing, long-term commitment to the company, our conviction for the future and the shareholder value the company will deliver."
