Chamber event

Business breakfast with Agratas - February 2026

 

Find out more about the procurement portal and work packages for the construction phase, plans for recruitment and additional information about skills partnerships! 

Somerset will soon be home to the biggest electric vehicle battery manufacturing facility in the UK and we are delighted to be able to invite local business to find out more directly from the company behind the scheme, Agratas. 

Join Somerset Chamber at Yeovil Town Football Club, to hear directly from Agratas about progress at site and the opportunities that this exciting project will bring.

The gigafactory will be built on the Gravity site at Puriton, near Bridgwater and represents a £4 billion investment in Somerset, which will directly create 4,000 new jobs and thousands more in the wider supply chain.

Battery production is due to begin in 2027 and by the early 2030s it will contribute almost half of the projected battery manufacturing capacity required for the UK automotive sector.

Agratas is working closely with a host of local and regional partners, including Somerset Council, University Centre Somerset College Group and the wider Gravity Smart Campus, to deliver bespoke education and training programmes in the region, creating local jobs for local people.
