TVR ANNOUNCES ITS PLANS TO REMAIN IN BRITAIN
Independent British sports car manufacturer, TVR has finalised the first stage of its relocation plans, and is delighted to confirm that it will be remaining in Britain and predominantly within Lancashire, the county in which the company was founded in 1947. For the foreseeable future, TVR will operate from a new international headquarters in Lancaster, where the management, sales and marketing teams, as well as research and development, will all be based. There will also be a TVR museum and an archive library at the headquarters, to which press, visitors, customers and enthusiasts will be warmly welcomed. Following extensive discussions with the local council, final production of TVR cars will also remain within Lancashire in the Squire's Gate area of Blackpool. It is planned that some sub-assembly manufacturing will eventually be conducted away from the new plant, but this remains the subject of further discussion and is linked to new materials and technology, which will be a feature of future TVR models. The new facilities will help TVR achieve Euro IV type approval and to realise an increased international presence, as well as to further its programme of continuous quality improvements. The relocation will be carefully managed to minimise disruption, and customers' orders will be unaffected. “This is the first stage of transition for the company,” said David Oxley, managing director of TVR. “The Squire’s Gate facility will enable us to increase our volumes in-line with Euro IV approval and with the opening up of new international markets for TVR, whilst continuing with our programme of quality improvements. The Lancaster headquarters will also increase efficiency in our administration, R&D, aftersales and sales and marketing departments.” These strategic moves by TVR continue to strengthen its position as one of the very few remaining truly British sports car manufacturers, a claim of which it is extremely proud. The company remains committed to producing exhilarating premium performance cars, something it has done for almost 60 years and a tradition that it's looking forward to continuing well into the future. “Our eventual plan is a brand new state-of-the-art factory for TVR,” said Nikolai Smolenski, TVR's chairman and proprietor, “but our choice of site for that facility is a decision to be made in the future. We have introduced a relocation strategy that allows TVR to grow into the international company that has always been my vision, and to continue to build on the improved quality using a skilled and committed local workforce.” -Ends-
