Construction of the new state-of-the-art 7,000 square Siemens’ Global Service Operations Centre at Teal Park is underway following at £35 million investment.

At a ground-breaking ceremony on Wednesday, May 17, Andrew Walker, Clive Cox and James Avery marked the official ground-breaking at the site near Lincoln in line with the project schedule.

Located next to Siemens’ existing Teal Park overhaul facility, the new Global Service Operations Centre will help to improve efficiency by having everything in close proximity such as spare parts, turbine engine units, tooling and safety equipment.
