McLaren unveiled plans on Friday to build an applied technology centre they said could create hundreds of jobs at the facility next to their Formula One factory. McLaren said an outline planning application had been submitted for the centre at Woking in southern England that would further the diversification of the group into non-motorsport sectors. "Up to 300 construction workers will be employed at the site at any one time over the phased development, and 400 direct jobs will be created and retained at the site," McLaren added.
