Rusham Park is an industrial site in Egham, Surrey. It was formally owned by Shell, Richardson Vicks, and Procter & Gamble. It is now owned by Royal Holloway University.[1]
The 50 acre site consists of 10 buildings built and rennovated at different times, giving it a collegiate look. It also contains gardens, green space and a multi-story carpark.
The University has considered its options and now wishes to proceed with an alternative-use redevelopment strategy for this major developed site in the Green Belt.[2]
Shell
Richardson Vicks International and Norwich Eaton
Richardson Vicks International moved into the site circa 1960.
Procter & Gamble
P&G acquired RVI in 1986. During the time P&G owned it, it was called Egham Technical Centre, Rusham Park Technical Centre, London Innovation Centre, and Greater London Innovation Centre. Upon sale of a large part of the P&G Beauty business to Coty, P&G put the site up for sale, likely so they were not landlord to their competitor who took over many of the buildings.
Royal Holloway University
Royal Holloway acquired the site in 2012, but leased it back to P&G and Coty.
