MP welcomes major investment in Warwick

MP Matt Western has welcomed a major investment which could bring more than 50 jobs to Warwick.

A 25,000 square foot industrial building at Tournament Fields has recently been completed, representing a major opportunity for business to come to Warwick or expand in the town.

The latest development could bring 50 jobs to the development just off the M40, with 20 acres of space still available for industrial and office buildings of up to 80,000 square feet.

Western, the MP for Warwick and Leamington, was given a tour of the 50 acre site by Bill Wareing, of Wareing and Company, chartered surveyors behind the hugely successful Tournament Fields development.

Wareing said: “Tournament Fields has been a magnet for inward investment in this area and I thought it was key that Matt could see for himself the calibre of company we have attracted here in recent months and years.

“There are now more than 1,500 jobs on site and with the recent completion of this latest building, that number is set to increase.

“It is essential that we have the right sites to able not only to bring new jobs and investment to the area but also to allow our successful companies to expand but remain in the area.”

Tournament Fields, owned and developed by Sackville Developments, is already home to Swiss sanitary ware company Geberit – which has its UK headquarters on the park – EagleBurgmann, a multi-national seal manufacturer.

Work has recently begun on site to create a European HQ for electrical manufacturer Sodick, which will see sales, service and marketing support operation for the whole of Europe, as well as Russia and Africa, run from the site.

MP Matt Western said: “Tournament Fields has developed considerably since my last visit and it is impressive to see the site thriving as it is.

“I would recommend the site to any business and I would of course welcome more investment in our local area.”
