Readie Construction has been confirmed as main contractor for a £28m deal to build a manufacturing and design facility for Moog Controls Limited in Gloucestershire.

Developer Barberry Industrial is delivering the 184,000 sq ft centre of excellence on a 10-acre site in Tewkesbury.

Jon Robinson, development director at Barberry, said: “Following a competitive tender we have now appointed Readie Construction to act as main contractor on this project. It’s fantastic to see work finally start on site so we can move forward with our program.

“To have reached this stage so soon is testament to all the hard work and effort put in by our professional team. We are excited to be delivering a state-of-the-art factory and extremely proud to have led the way on what will be one of the few carbon neutral manufacturing facilities in the UK.”

Mark Lawton, general manager at Moog, said: “The team is delighted to be moving to the construction phase of the project and we look forward to working with Barberry in the months and years to come.”

Jon Mott, project director at Barberry, said: “We are excited to have appointed Readie Construction as our main contractor and to be working together to deliver the Moog Controls centre of manufacturing excellence. We are working to a tight timeline with a view to completing construction in April 2022.”

Stuart Read, chairman of Readie Construction, said: “We are very happy to have successfully won the tender and been appointed to work alongside Barberry, Moog and the project team in delivering this exceptional building.”
