Avdel Welwyn Garden City March/April 2005

Sadly totally gone within a couple of weeks of the last picture being taken :0( The site was half of the centre of the Mundells roundabout, the other half being taken up by the GSK site that was demolished a year or so earlier (I have got a lot of pictures of the demolition of the main tower building, some of which I had published in the local paper at the time).
The vast majority of the manufacturing plant from Avdel WGC was moved to Wuxi in China with some being shipped out to Beckingen in Germany and the remainder to the one surviving UK plant in Warrington.

Nice place and good photos John

I watched the mundells change, I drove round it almost everyday for 6 years. John is the Avaya office on mundells still in operation?

Yes the Avaya office is still there, the changes being limited to the centre of Mundells.

Avdel Mundells as it was prior to 2005 (my car is almost certainly in this pic)

The big building on the right, on the old GSK site, is a high security HSBC data centre ....
