The Mercedes Formula 1 team will increase its workforce after the West Northamptonshire Council officially approved the plans to upgrade
Mercedes has submitted a proposal to expand its main headquarters by adding a three-tiered marketing building and a health and well-being centre. Local businesses have opposed the plans, particularly the use of St James Road and Lauda Drive as additional routes for Mercedes personnel. The council, however, has approved the project, which will allow Mercedes to hire 500 new employees over the next five years. The modifications to the site will prioritize sustainability by converting car parking spaces into a landscaped parkland. The goal of the expansion is to create a Silicon Valley-style environment with amenities and benefits for employees. Daniel Lister, a council member, believes that the expansion will bring economic growth and investment to the town of Brackley and the surrounding area.
