Our Vision
Our journey started in 2013 with a vision to establish the UK’s pre-eminent destination for the past, present and future of automotive and aviation endeavour. A decade on we are home to more than 50 leading enterprises including Polestar, NEOM McLaren Electric Racing, Zero and more. Our site consists of four quarters: Heritage, Experience, Innovation and Wilderness, which as a whole encompass an active airfield, test tracks and space for amenities and wellbeing. Building on our heritage, we are resolutely focused on continuing to deliver a home for mobility pioneers and accelerating the world’s adoption of mobility technology. We are investing in our vision to build a transformational location and are inviting co-creators to join us.
