Ravenscraig has achieved a significant development milestone following the completion of a new 38,000 sq ft commercial vehicle workshop and sales facility for Motus Commercials within SevenFourEight, the site's dedicated employment zone.

The newly built facility is designed to support the sale, servicing, and maintenance of heavy goods vehicles. This expansion allows Motus Commercials to scale up its operations and accommodate rising customer demand throughout Scotland. Operating as the UK's largest dealer group for DAF Trucks, the business has relocated to the site from its former premises in Bellshill, benefiting from enhanced capacity and upgraded working environments for its staff.

This project completion represents the latest phase in the regeneration of Ravenscraig—one of Europe's largest brownfield redevelopment initiatives—as it continues to draw prominent employers and major investment into the North Lanarkshire region.

Situated with direct access to the M74 and M8 motorways, the SevenFourEight zone stands as a vital component of the overarching Ravenscraig masterplan, delivering well-connected, high-quality industrial and commercial space. Additional development opportunities remain available as the location continues its long-term evolution.
