High street retail group Frasers has announced major investment plans into a Global Headquarters Campus at Ansty in Rugby, Warwickshire, in the heart of the country.
The company, which owns household names such as Sports Direct, House of Fraser, Game and Evans Cycles say the project will support the continued growth of the business and allow the business to drive productivity, growth, and innovation across the UK and globally.
However, the investment also raises questions over the future of the company’s current Shirebrook base.
A spokesperson for the company states: “Frasers Group is proposing to deliver an exceptional campus environment, reflecting quality design, operation, and sustainability. It will be landscape-led, driven by responsible and sustainable design principles. Where possible it will retain, reinforce, and enhance the existing landscape character and features.
“The proposals will also benefit the community, with several features open to the public. This will include a gym, swimming and sports hub, with bookable courts and pitches, and conferencing and training facilities. The enhanced landscape features will also include open space which will be accessible to all.”
The new Global Headquarters Campus is planned for land at Junction 2 of the M6 sitting adjacent to the strategic motorway network – connected to all regions of the UK by road, rail, and air.
