Brompton are a Brentford good news story, that is going to grow exponentially in the next five years. What's more, most of their staff are local, and cycle to work. They started making bikes under the railway arches near Pets at Home, and now operate from their factory behind Magnet, off the top end of Lionel Road South, next to the A4/M4 (and not affected by the BFC proposals.) I have been working with Will to help find a suitable place locally for them to move to. Their overcrowded factory is bursting at the seams and they have already had to rent an additional unit a bit further up the A4. It would be such a shame if they had to move a long way away, as they contribute so much to the local economy and particularly provide valuable local job opportunities. They are one of the few true manufacturing firms still in London.
