SAIC doubles size of UK design centre

The European Design centre (EDC) of SAIC Motor at the MG Birmingham site was officially opened today. It has more than doubled in size just three years after the original design studio opened.

The latest investment from SAIC Motor, MG's parent company, follows one of over £500 million invested in the development of new models for Europe.

Staff in the newly expanded EDC are already working on a range of future MG models, including the new MG3. The latest investment allows the studio, now the fifth largest in Britain, to carry out even more advanced design work. The original studio was part of a £5 million investment programme.
