Britishvolt property director Paul Franklin said: “This is another important milestone for Britishvolt, UK plc and its world class automotive industry.

“The UK’s battery ecosystem is a global leader in integrated technology development and industrialisation with the Warwick Manufacturing Group, Faraday Institution, UK Battery Industrialisation Centre and the Advanced Propulsion Centre.

“I am delighted to see Britishvolt lead the UK’s journey into re-industrialisation with the first full-scale battery Gigaplant. The new scale-up facilities announced today will help the UK build on its home-grown battery intellectual property and level up the country ready for the energy transition.”

Last October, Winvic had commenced early works on the Hams Hall site. Completion of the structure is anticipated in July with fit out and equipment installation work to be carried out through to third quarter end of 2023.
