Reece Group begins move to Scotswood Road site

Reece Group has begun its first businesses into the iconic Scotswood Road site.

Responsive Engineering, which was formed by a merger of two Reece Group companies, Pearson Engineering Services and Responsive Engineering Group, has now relocated its machining operations at Team Valley along with its 300 strong workforce into the newly refurbished premises.

Reece Group has planned to invest £10 million into the redevelopment of the site over the next two years.

The production area for Responsive Engineering alone will occupy in excess of 7,000sqm and includes the most technically advanced machinery available.

Managing director of Responsive Engineering, Roger Anderton said: “The logistics of getting the site ready and the machinery moved has been an enormous challenge but one which has been both exciting and invigorating for everyone involved.

“There has been a tremendous effort from all those involved to achieve what has been a seamless transition of operations onto site and we definitely see this move as an excellent opportunity to further build upon our success.”

Chairman of Reece Group, John Reece said: “Armstrong Works is a location synonymous with engineering innovation and the arrival of the first Reece Group Company on site marks a major milestone in our ambition to create the most capable Tier 1 engineering supplier site in Europe.”
