The new facility, work on which is expected to start on site in January 2025, will provide purpose-built space for the sales, service and parts support of DAF Trucks, addressing the company’s need for a larger, modern facility to meet customer demand.

Russell Wilkie, director at Ravenscraig Limited, said: “As one of Europe’s largest regeneration projects, Ravenscraig is continually evolving into a dynamic, self-sustaining community offering new opportunities in housing, education, transport, and employment. 

“This latest development with Motus Group marks a significant milestone in bringing high-quality jobs to the area and driving economic growth. As we continue to transform this iconic site and attract leading employers, we are firmly establishing Ravenscraig as one of Scotland’s premier industrial hubs, positioned for long-term success and regional prosperity.”

This marks another major deal in Ravenscraig’s dynamic regeneration, following the recent Fusion Assets £10 million employment hub being approved by North Lanarkshire Council. Together, these projects reinforce Ravenscraig’s growing reputation as a thriving commercial and industrial destination.

Further plots are also available within the current phase of SevenFourEight, the site’s dedicated employment area, inviting more businesses to join prominent firms like Fusion Assets and Motus in this well-connected, rapidly evolving community.

Matt Lawrenson, managing director of Motus Commercials, said: “We are very pleased to be embarking on this project. We’re always aware of the continuing need to refresh and grow the Motus Commercials network, both to keep pace with the success of DAF Trucks and our own role in it. And, to provide top-class working conditions for our teams. 

“This, together with the growing introductions of alternative fuel vehicles, made it important to consider a move from our main Glasgow site in Bellshill. The current site is now too small for the growing volume of work coming to us from Scottish operators, and Ravenscraig offers the space and location we need. While it is too soon to make any definite predictions, it is probable that the enlarged site and continued business growth could see new job opportunities once we are settled in.”
