We were delighted to welcome Stratford District Council Leader Councillor Tony Jeffers and Martin Yardley from the University of Warwick to Long Marston this week.

Our CEO Mary Grant highlighted the £3 million we have invested to modernise and enhance the rail innovation centre with one-third of this spend in the local economy around Warwickshire. Chief Operating Officer Ben Ackroyd confirmed plans to invest a further £2 million develop a state-of-the-art Asset Management Facility at the site.

A good discussion took place about how institutions like the University of Warwick and businesses such as Porterbrook are supporting future economic development in Warwickshire.
