The Derby City Council Cabinet has approved a proposal to develop a £19.3 million site with 80,000ft2 warehouse and 15,000ft2 office building, located at Infinity Park Aerospace Campus. Pattonair will take a long-term lease once completed.
Infinity Park Derby is strategically located adjacent to the A50 and Rolls-Royce aerospace campus, and will be home to the new facility.
Pattonair currently employs 1100 people globally with 600 employees within its Derby based businesses, and will aim to consolidate all activities into this single aerospace campus at Infinity Park once fully operational in 2021.
Chief executive Wayne Hollinshead added: “We’re delighted that Derby City Council cabinet has approved the proposal to develop a new facility at Infinity Park. We look forward to a successful partnership with Derby City Council, to execute this next chapter for Pattonair, cementing our position in Derby to deliver world class supply chain solutions for our customers. This new site approximately doubles our Derby operational capacity and will provide state of the art facilities to support our ambitious UK growth plans for the next 25 years.”
Matthew Holmes, cabinet member of Regeneration and Public Protection said: “Derby is a world leader in transport engineering, and this is a fantastic opportunity for the Council to help grow and enhance the facilities we have within the city. This investment will continue to cement our commitment to innovation and growth. We’re thrilled that Pattonair will be relocating to this new facility.”
