The investment will enable the coachbuilder to expand manufacturing to meet increased demand with 15,000 sq ft of additional space.
The project is expected to be completed by June 2018 and will create up to 40 new jobs.
“Our expansion plans are the result of an increase in demand for our products which follows the introduction of a number of new and highly innovative vehicles launched last year, including the Strata – high and low floor versions – and our new fully electric Orion E small bus,” says John Randerson, managing director of the bus division at Woodall Nicholson, Mellor’s parent company.
“In addition to increased manufacturing capacity, we also needed more office space and staff to handle our growing business and being able to acquire this site which is directly adjacent to our existing premises, was the perfect solution.”
