Hitachi Information Control Systems Europe (HICSE), a supplier of innovative software solutions to the global rail industry, is relocating on 16 December 2019, to new offices located less than a mile away from its current premises.
One of Bradford on Avon’s leading employers, HICSE’s head office has been located at its current site on Kingston Road since 2010. It is moving to Middleton Drive on the new Kingston Farm development from Ashford Homes.
The move comes as a result of HICSE’s continued growth over the past few years, which has seen the permanent workforce increase to over 140 people. It also reflects the strategic expansion of its rail business both in the UK and overseas.
Tim Gray, HICSE Managing Director, commented:
We are pleased to be moving into the new premises in Bradford on Avon and to continuing our long-standing association with the local community and the Southwest region. The new offices will provide an excellent workspace for our staff and enable efficient delivery and collaboration for our customer and suppliers. Together with our Derby and Plymouth offices we are ready to build on the exciting opportunities in today’s railway industry.
