WORK is revving up for the completion of a hospitality centre at Thruxton Motorsports Centre.

The complex will include a restaurant, bar, exhibition gallery, function rooms, hospitality suites, viewing terraces and a balcony.

Steel construction company John Reid & Son Ltd (REIDsteel) has designed, manufactured and supplied all of the steelwork, cladding and glazing for the building, alongside contractor Mata Construction.

REIDsteel project engineer Toby Hill-Cousins, said: “Thruxton wanted an innovative and modern hospitality centre to reflect its status as one of the most iconic motorsport and leisure venues in the UK.

“We have designed, manufactured and supplied stadia for a wide range of clients over many years, including Premier League football clubs, and are delighted to help deliver this landmark project which will support the venue’s growth for years to come.”

Thruxton is planning the grand opening of the new centre in April as part of its 50th anniversary celebrations in 2018.

It will welcome guests from the British Touring Car Championship (BTCC), British Superbike Championship (BSB) and British Truck Racing plus club race meetings among other events.

Ben Norton, marketing manager at Thruxton Motorsports Centre, said: “Our flagship hospitality centre is the latest addition as part of ambitious modernisation and growth plans in our 50th anniversary year.

“It is an exciting and innovative development which will allow us to deliver stunning and memorable events for groups of all sizes with hospitality of the highest standard.”
