Exciting times for Cardiff as Rolls-Royce has its eye on the new Cardiff Parkway development for a major investment! 🎉 The project promises a state-of-the-art four-platform train station, seamlessly integrated into a massive 900,000 sq ft business park. Located in St Mellons, this exciting venture has already attracted Rolls-Royce Submarines, with a satellite office now up and running, planning to boost its workforce from 40 to 120 and beyond.
Rolls-Royce is interested in the area’s strong connectivity and rich academic resources—the perfect mix for high-tech growth. 🚉📈 Its new satellite office is a “flag in the ground” signalling potential future investments.
The proposed Cardiff Parkway project has earned praise for its strategic location, with easy access to Cardiff, Newport, Bristol, and London. This connectivity is key for Rolls-Royce’s future growth, especially as the UK ramps up defence and energy spending.
The future looks bright, with potential high-skilled jobs up for grabs and an exciting partnership between local governance and major businesses. The Welsh Government is showing enthusiastic support, with hopes for extensive growth in the area.
While planning is in progress, discussions about funding for this ambitious project are ongoing, especially as rail infrastructure investment remains a hot topic in Wales. But there’s high optimism as Cardiff could soon be home to a thriving business hub with Rolls-Royce leading the charge.
Stay tuned for more updates on this transformative project and the opportunities it might bring for Cardiff and beyond! 🌟
