Now named Bicester Heritage, the site caters to over 35 specialist businesses on site ranging from historic grand prix car preparers and magneto specialists, to dealers and exhaust manufacturers. Together they provide a supportive ecosystem that is revolutionising historic car ownership. Bicester Heritage is a hub for historic motoring excellence and recognised as the national centre for a £5.5bn per annum industry that employs over 34,000 skilled people. Its collective turnover of over £20m makes it the largest player in the industry – and it’s set to grow exponentially with a global reach. Collectively, Bicester Heritage is all about driving the future of the past. The unique ecosystem acts as ‘marina-like’ cluster, promoting skills and expertise, employment, qualified customer footfall, shared business incubation and aggregate growth. Geoghegan and his skilled team have rolled our four phases of restoration so far, with exciting plans ahead for the likes of an on-site hotel – cementing Bicester Heritage as the ultimate classic car destination for enthusiasts from all over the globe.
