A £6m project to build a hi-tech Bradford on Avon motoring firm's new headquarters will get underway later this month.

By September 2017, Anthony Best Dynamics, an automotive test equipment specialist, will have a new factory a few hundred yards down the road from its current site in Holt Road.

BAM Construction will carry out the work on the site which will have an internal floor area of 3,000 square metres and will supply advanced testing systems to the global motor industry, for research and development and for production quality control.

Tim Rogers, managing director of AB Dynamics, said: “We are pleased to be working with a highly experienced contractor to deliver what is an important facility and a milestone in the company’s growth plans for the future.”

The steel-framed factory, designed by Bath-based SRA Architects, will comprise the design and construction of a new engineering and workshop facility, a two-storey office, conference rooms, assembly areas and a café.

Work on the site began earlier this month.
