Bro Tathan is open for business. The former Ministry of Defence heritage site,
now owned by Welsh Government is a business park and airfield offering a world of exciting
opportunities for business, air and innovation to flourish.
Located in a designated enterprise zone, Bro Tathan is ideal for those businesses looking
for links between Wales and the rest of the world. Just ten minutes from Cardiff Airport,
with its 50 direct flights and more than 900 international connections, 20 minutes from
the M4 and its routes to London and the key cities of the UK, and Wales’ capital city
Cardiff within 15 miles. Bro Tathan co-locates a ready to use commercial
airfield operated by Cardiff Airport with a business park in a strong, strategic location.
The site enjoys a well-developed infrastructure and there is access to a skilled workforce
with strong links to local colleges and universities. You can work with a Welsh Government focused
on attracting inward investment and an experienced team of advisors. Covering some 1,200 acres
with a fully operational 1.8km runway and multiple airside services, Bro Tathan, developed
with Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) as its principle activity.
Global property agent ‘Savills’ has been commissioned to promote the business park’s
unique mix of business, air and innovation opportunities.
At over 1,200 acres, Bro Tathan represents one of Wales’ most significant development
opportunities to business. With the new northern access road now providing unrestricted access
to the park, it creates a strong sense of arrival for us to welcome visitors and to
showcase the opportunities that we have to offer. We divide the site into zones – ‘Y
Porth’ is the new gateway to the park with the aim of delivering a mixed-use scheme over
a 17 acre parcel of land offering in excess of 200,000 square feet of office, hotel, retail
and showroom uses. Bro Tathan West is ideally suited for businesses requiring airside access
and services. Bro Tathan East represents a significant development opportunity – at
over 130 acres it is aimed at those inward investment opportunities of varying scale,
uses and configuration. Bro Tathan South is already home to a number of rotary wing aircraft
operators. A number of alternative development opportunities for similar type uses are also
available. Bro Tathan North is home to a number of existing buildings suitable for warehousing,
distribution and manufacturing uses as well as a number of development opportunities.
The site has already attracted global car icon Aston Martin with the first pre-production
models of its first SUV – the Aston Martin DBX recently rolled out and full production
planned for 2020. The site will ultimately become the company’s home of electrification.
eCube Solutions, a global player in the aviation services industry has been delivering end
of life aircraft projects and much more for a number of years on site.
The future for Bro Tathan business park is very exciting. If more aerospace companies
do come to this location, it can only be beneficial for all of us because it means that our customer
base will be able to acquire more services at the same location, which is just going
to foster more business, so it has to be a very positive development.
Bro Tathan – quick and serviced occupational solutions. Space to grow through a range of
design and build opportunities. A regulated airfield with permanent air traffic control.
A location within five miles of Cardiff Airport and 15 miles of Cardiff. Access to a pool
of talent. And the support of the Welsh Government. Bro Tathan – Business, Air and Innovation.
