Volkswagen Group’s Bentley Motors has broken ground for a new paint shop in Crewe.

The new facility is part of the brand’s preparations for future electric vehicle production.

The 12,460 sq m shop will be completed in 2025 and will offer an expanded paint colour choice of 100 individual colours to customers, uniquely celebrated as part of the exterior building design.

There will also be a four storey office building housing 370 workers.

The new building is part of a GBP2.5bn investment in future products at Pyms Lane where all Bentley models are hand completed.
