History

Gloucester Business Park was formerly the factory and test airfield for the Gloster Aircraft Company, famous for building the Hawker Hurricane during the 1940s and the Gloster Javelin during the 1950s. [5] The airfield ceased to be operational in 1962, and in 1964, the site became a trading estate. In the late 1980s, the trading estate closed and in the 1990s, it was then redeveloped by Arlington into the Gloucester Business Park. [6]

On 1 July 2022, Straight Trading Company announced the acquisition of the park for £130 million. [3] [7]
