French firm Motul becomes fourth to move into No.1 Bath Quays
French firm Motul, which specialises in lubricants for engines, has chosen No.1 Bath Quays in the historic city to be the site of the global firm's first UK sales office.
It will take 1,067 sq ft when it moves into one of the ground floor units in the landmark Grade A building, said Bath and North East Somerset council.

The new tenant will join software provider Altus and financial services consultancy Fidelius who moved in last year. BMT, a maritime-orientated design and consultancy, recently took up residence.
"We feel the Bath Quays location reflects our company's values dating back to our founding way back in 1863," said Callum Goodland, UK & Ireland Country General Manager at Motul.
"Over the years, Motul has gained worldwide awareness as an official supplier to a great number of motor sport teams and Original Equipment Manufacturers.
"Today, the company remains a key partner of emblematic international racing competitions such as the Dakar Rally, the 24 Hours of Le Mans, MotoGP, Goodwood Revival and many others."
Goodland said he was looking forward to welcoming customers, partners and colleagues from around the globe to the new UK sales office.
The building is the first new office block for Bath in a generation and is part of the 4.5 acre Bath Quays regeneration project. It provides 44,470 sq ft of Grade A accommodation over four open plan floors and ground floor business space, with a host of passive design and energy efficiency measures.
Cllr Paul Roper, cabinet member for economic and cultural sustainable development, said: "It is great news that Motul has chosen Bath to set up its first UK sales office and even better that it will be moving its workforce into No.1 Bath Quays, providing a boost to the local economy and validating our commitment to support and regenerate our city centre."
Knight Frank acted as agent for Bath & North East Somerset Council at No.1 Bath Quays. The property and estate is managed by Savills.
