New Lease of Life for Fort Dunlop

A new chapter opened in the life of one of the great icons in UK tyre industry history when the first tenants were named for the re-vamped Fort Dunlop site, near Birmingham. The new tenant is the design consultancy Boxer, who will move into the building in October. The six-storey building has undergone a 40 million Pound refurbishment, having stood empty for a quarter of a century. In its heyday, it was the headquarters for Dunlop Tyres, housing around 10,000 employees.
