Ravenscraig has reached key milestone with the completion of Motus Commercials’ new 38,000 sq ft commercial vehicle workshop and sales facility within the site’s dedicated employment zone, SevenFourEight.

The new workshop and sales facility will support the sale, servicing and maintenance of heavy goods vehicles, enabling Motus Commercials to expand its operations and meet growing customer demand across Scotland. The business, which operates as the UK’s largest dealer group for DAF Trucks, has relocated from its previous Bellshill site, providing increased capacity and improved working conditions for its team.

The completion marks the latest step in the ongoing transformation of Ravenscraig, one of Europe’s largest brownfield regeneration projects, as it continues to attract major employers and investment to North Lanarkshire.

Russell Wilkie, Director at Ravenscraig Limited, said: "The completion of Motus Commercials’ new facility is another significant step forward for Ravenscraig as we continue to deliver on our vision of creating a thriving business and employment hub. This investment reinforces the strength of demand for high-quality industrial space at Ravenscraig and highlights the site’s strategic importance within Scotland’s central belt, creating opportunities for long-term economic growth and jobs in the area."

Daniel Fitzjohn, Commercial Director, Motus Commercials said: “The opening of our new facility at Ravenscraig marks an important milestone for Motus Commercials and reflects our continued commitment to investing in our network, our people and our customers.

“The site provides the additional capacity, modern facilities and strategic location we need to support future growth, while ensuring we continue to deliver the highest levels of service and support to operators across Scotland. We are pleased to now be fully operational at Ravenscraig and look forward to becoming part of the site's ongoing success story."

SevenFourEight is a key part of the Ravenscraig masterplan, offering high-quality industrial and commercial space in a well-connected location.

Ravenscraig is one of Europe’s largest regeneration and community creation initiatives, located in North Lanarkshire. This 1,200 acre transformational regeneration project is led by Ravenscraig Limited (a joint venture company comprising Barratt Developments, Tata Steel and Scottish Enterprise), with £250m investment to date.

Ravenscraig Steelworks closed in 1992, turning a once thriving industrial hub into a vacant brownfield site.
