The world’s largest ship builder has opened an office in Bracknell.

Hyundai Heavy Industries moved its marketing team into an office on Lovelace Road on Friday, July 18.

UK general manager Alan Paulling said: “We chose Bracknell because it is near the motorway and has good transport links. Despite the credit crunch we are confident in the area.”

Hyundai Heavy Industries manufactures ships and construction machines from their sites in Korea and China.
