Microchip breaks new ground

19 December 2008

Microchip (www.microchip.com) has started work on building its new European head-quarters located in the Winnersh Triangle, near Reading.

The ground-breaking ceremony took place at the end of September and completion of the new building is scheduled for September 2009.

Part of a £100 million development scheme for the Winnersh Triangle, Microchip’s new headquarters will be purpose-built to house their European sales and support teams as well as a state-of-the-art Regional Training Centre (RTC) with extensive training rooms, conference suites and laboratories.

Gary Marsh, Microchip’s European VP Sales, explains: “Building the new European headquarters to our own specifications gives Microchip the opportunity to create one of the industry’s most advanced training centres. Easy access to customers throughout the UK and Europe, and a comprehensive programme of workshops and seminars, will allow customers to enhance their skills in embedded solutions, RF and analogue design. The training centre will also enhance our opportunity to engage in a two-way dialogue with our customers which will help to shape the development of future Microchip products.”

The ceremony was performed by Diane Carpenter, Senior European HR Manager for Microchip, and Tim Jones, Senior Development Manager for developers, SEGRO.
