One of the company’ s latest projects began in July 2025 and consists of a prestigious 12-month design and build NEC4 contract to deliver a transformational £ 11.6 million refurbishment of the former Monarch Aircraft Engineering Ltd hangars at London Luton Airport. This ambitious project represents a significant investment in the region’ s aviation and engineering future, breathing new life into an iconic site that has been a cornerstone of Luton’ s industrial heritage for decades.
“ The redevelopment comprises three expansive hangars that will be reimagined. One of the hangars will become a stateof-the-art aircraft engineering and repair hangar, designed to meet the highest modern standards of aerospace technology and safety. Another will be transformed into a purpose-built maintenance facility and apprentice training campus, which will support both technical excellence and future skills development within the aviation sector. Meanwhile, the third hangar will be repurposed into a brand-new airport logistics consolidation centre, with the aim of streamlining operations and improving efficiency across airport services. However, this project extends far beyond the physical construction aspect; it reflects Neville Special
Projects’ deep connection with London Luton Airport, which dates back to the 1960s. The redevelopment is set to play a vital role in the area’ s economic regeneration, with the potential to create up to 150 new jobs, including highly skilled engineering positions, while also supporting up to 40 apprentices once the facility is operational. A central part of this project is the company’ s ongoing commitment to local employment and skills development. Throughout the duration of the contract, Neville Special Projects is dedicated to generating opportunities within the surrounding area, ensuring that most of the workforce is drawn from the local community, thus strengthening regional economic growth while fostering a sense of ownership and pride among those involved,” Vicky enlightens.
