The Victorian era rail factory in Wiltshire is set to be closed and a new facility opened after Siemens announced plans for a £100m replacement.
The factory, which designs and manufactures railway signalling and control systems, employs over 800 people, all of which will be transferred to the new building which is expected to be open by 2026.
Chancellor Jeremy Hunt, who was in Wiltshire, said: “This new commitment from Siemens is a big boost for Britain’s world-class manufacturing sector and shows our plan for the UK to be the best place to invest and grow a business is working.”
