Marlborough precision firm’s £200k expansion and Pill fire station gym plan show two sides of South West facility projects

A funded manufacturing expansion in Marlborough and a proposed gym building at Pill Fire Station highlight different routes to new facilities in the South West.

Separate records show two very different facility-expansion projects in the South West: one funded through a regional investment scheme, the other proposed through a council planning list.

Bdaily South West reported that Marlborough-based precision engineering business PrevTech has received £200,000 from the British Business Bank’s South West Investment Fund, delivered by The FSE Group, to expand its facilities, create skilled jobs and target new markets [1].

North Somerset Council’s planning weekly list includes an application at Pill Fire Station, Westward Drive, Pill, for installation of a new stand-alone pre-fabricated ancillary building to house gym facilities, including formation of a concrete base [2].

Read together, the two items illustrate the breadth of premises activity in the region: one a private manufacturer adding capacity with investment money, the other a fire station seeking approval for an on-site building [1][2].
