At least 60 new jobs could be created if a Warwick vehicle design business' expansion plans are given the green light.

Contechs Ltd has submitted an application to build new offices on the Budbrooke Industrial Estate, saying it needs to grow as it deals with more EV clients worldwide.

Plans to build a two-storey office on the canalside site have been submitted to Warwick District Council, and if approved the building would be built next to Grand Union House, which was taken over Contechs last year.

The company, which also has bases in Basildon and Cologne, first moved to Warwick in 2002.

And the company says it will now create even more jobs as it expands its design and management team.

"In 2021 the directors of Contechs Ltd acquired Grand Union House, the adjacent office building on Budbrooke Road, to enable the expansion of its automotive design business which has been based on the Budbrooke Industrial Estate since 2002," the application form states.

"Contechs' office space needs are increasing rapidly with its continuing success working for worldwide electric vehicle EV clients.

"More space is now required to accommodate the design and management team of the business, hence the reason for the application."

The site, which falls partly within the canal conservation area, would have 22 car parking spaces as well as bicycle storage.
