DENNIS Eagle, which designs and manufactures refuse collection vehicles has opened a new training centre in Warwick.
The Technical Training Centre, located near its Heathcote Way headquarters, is seen as critical for the future of the business which can trace it roots back to 1907 when the Eagle Engineering Co began making engines. Dennis Eagle was formed when Eagle Engineering and Dennis Specialist Vehicles merged in 1971.
Alongside the Technical Training Centre, the new building also houses a practical area, display area, and a customer handover space.
The expansion is anticipated to create several new jobs in the area, including roles for engineers, technicians, training, and administrative employees.
Managing director Keith Day said: “As well as increasing the space required to support production growth, it will allow us to showcase our world-class vehicle capability through interactive presentations, practical activities, and engaging environments, enabling customers to get hands-on with our products in a safe and controlled way.
“As the UK’s leading provider of innovative RCVs and specialist vehicles, this new building further demonstrates our commitment to investing in Warwick and the UK, supporting new jobs in the area, providing a positive boost to the economy, and continuing our vital work towards creating safer, cleaner communities.”
Dennis Eagle employs more than 1,000 staff. It has UK production facilities in Warwick and Blackpool.
