£50m tech centre set for Surrey
Gordon Murray Group has announced it has received planning permission to build a new £50m global headquarters and technology campus in Windlesham, Surrey.
The 130,000-sqft development will house state-of-the-art facilities for vehicle design, development, advanced engineering and manufacture, and will see the creation of 100 highly-skilled jobs.
The first phase is expected to be completed by December 2022 and will be the first of three buildings, housing the manufacturing facility, a customer sales suite, servicing and a heritage vehicle display.
A test track to check all vehicles coming off of the production line is also planned. Two further phases will follow and the whole site is expected to be completed by 2024.
Professor Gordon Murray, chairman, Gordon Murray Group said: “This significant investment marks a new chapter for our business. This will be a world-class facility, attracting world-class talent and we intend it to be something that the British automotive industry can be proud of as we gather momentum for even greater success.”
