URA Thrusters has more than doubled its space at PATRIZIA’s Westcott Venture Park.
The propulsion specialist has taken almost 11,000 sq ft in Building 9002, three years after it arrived at the Buckinghamshire park, where it has increased headcount from three to 30.
Its new home is next to Building 9003 which houses the largest electric propulsion vacuum testing facilities in the UK, which are operated by Westcott Shared Facilities.
Cristina Galdamez, head of operations for URA Thrusters, said: “This new space provides the room we need to continue developing and maturing our technologies, and growing the business, with plans to reach 50 employees within two years and 70 within five years.
“Being part of the Westcott Space Cluster has proven invaluable for us, enabling collaboration with fellow cluster members and creating an environment where we’re all working towards the same goals.
“The community here at Westcott, and the improvements being made across the park, are helping us attract the talent we need to deliver our sustainable propulsion systems.”
Aman Sharma, investment manager for PATRIZIA, said: “URA Thrusters represents exactly what we envisioned for Westcott when we embarked on this development programme. To see such an innovative company grow from its initial operations at the Innovation Centre to now occupying this flagship facility demonstrates both the company’s success and Westcott’s ability to support businesses throughout their growth journey.
“URA’s pioneering work in sustainable propulsion technology positions them at the forefront of the space industry’s evolution, and we’re proud to provide the infrastructure that enables their continued expansion.”
