Steel races to complete racetrack hospitality suite

Work is revving up for the completion of a flagship hospitality centre at the Thruxton Motorsports Centre in Hampshire.

The state-of-the-art complex will include a restaurant, bar, exhibition gallery, function rooms, hospitality suites, catering facilities, viewing terraces and a balcony.

Steelwork contractor REIDsteel has designed, manufactured and supplied all of the steelwork, cladding and glazing for the modern, two-storey building alongside local contractor Mata Construction.

The £1.5M centre’s innovative design includes a grand atrium and entrance lobby to reflect the dynamism of motorsport and Thruxton’s rich heritage.

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.”

Marketing Manager at Thruxton Ben Norton said: “Our flagship hospitality centre is the latest addition as part of ambitious modernisation and growth plans in our 50^th 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.”

Thruxton’s 2.4 mile circuit is the fastest in the UK. It also has paddocks for different activities, a top-class kart and 4×4 centre, and state-of-the-art skid pan facility.
