Gordon Murray Group announces new global headquarters and technology campus

Gordon Murray Group has revealed plans for an all new global headquarters at Windlesham, Surrey. The new technology campus will be built on a 21.8 hectar site providing state-of-the-art facilities for world-leading automotive design, engineering and advanced vehicle development and manufacturing.

This announcement closely follows the launch of the world-beating T.50 supercar and underscores the development of the Gordon Murray Group.

The 12,007sqm development, encompassing three buildings, will also see the Gordon Murray Group create more than 100 new highly skilled jobs within the next three years.

Phase one is aiming to commence construction and will house a vehicle manufacturing centre, customer sales and the Gordon Murray Group heritage collection. The whole site is due to be completed by the end of 2024 with a total investment of $88.6 million.

The new headquarters incorporate a revolutionary layout in the design and prototyping area of the main engineering facility, which will deliver an ultra-efficient, world-class vehicle development process. Individual build bays for prototype vehicles are sited adjacent to their respective design team with common access areas to ensure engineering teams communicate and work together efficiently.

Elsewhere on the technology campus, the new headquarters will house state-of-the-art office and presentation facilities, while a dedicated R&D structure will continue to advance the group’s leadership in automotive engineering and materials research.

In addition to the new Windlesham facility, the Gordon Murray Group will retain its existing facilities. The site at Dunsfold Park, Surrey will be used to manufacture the exclusive T.50 supercar and T50s track-focused version, as well as continuing research and development in the innovative and agile iStream manufacturing system. The original Shalford site will be occupied until the technology campus is finished.
