IT started in a garden shed in 1980 and on Friday (14th October) the engineering firm Calgavin welcomed guests to see the turf dug that signalled the start of a £5million project to build new headquarters for the Alcester-based company on the Arden Forest Way development.

The new HQ is less than a mile away from the current facility occupied by Calgavin at Minerva Mill and will take just under 12 months to complete.
