The site upon which the Park has been developed was formerly the factory and test airfield for the Gloster Aircraft Company, famous for building the Hawker Hurricane during the 1940s and the Gloster Javelin during the 1950s. The airfield ceased to be operational in 1962 and Arlington began developing the Park in the early 1990s based on a mixed use outline planning consent allowing for the delivery of office, industrial, residential and retail uses. To date, over 2.75 million sq ft has been developed, ranging from small industrial units to large distribution facilities, together with a range of Grade A office buildings. There are a significant number of high profile occupiers based at Gloucester Business Park including Laithwaites, Wincanton, TBS Engineering, Royal Mail, Lockheed Martin, NHS, BAE Systems, G-TEM, SHS Drinks and Horizon Nuclear Power.
