Rolls-Royce safeguards 200 jobs with new centre
Rolls-Royce has said it plans to open a new technology and logistics centre in Bognor Regis, West Sussex in 2016, safeguarding 200 jobs and creating a number of new roles.
The 30,000 sq m site will complement the company's manufacturing facility eight miles away in Goodwood. It will consolidate three current operations – an inbound warehouse for production parts, a distribution centre, including storage for newly-built cars, and a workshop for car preparation.
Torsten Müller-Ötvös, chief executive officer for Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, said: "I am delighted to announce our new Technology and Logistics Centre, which reflects the sustainable development and ongoing success of our business.
"Every Rolls-Royce motor car is built at the Home of Rolls-Royce at Goodwood and this new facility will provide the required local logistics support for our current and future models."
All Rolls-Royce cars are produced at its factory in West Sussex. In 2013 the manufacturer saw its strongest year to date, with 3,630 cars sold worldwide.
