2016 is gearing up to be a busy and successful year for North Tyneside with a number of new and ongoing projects which are delivering fantastic benefits to the local economy. Among them is the continued success of Cobalt Park, the UK’s largest and most successful business park in the UK. It is now home to 20 major occupiers across multiple sectors including IT, financial services, utilities and renewables and provides employment for 14,000 people. Get the full story on page51.


Arch Commercial is part of the Arch Group, a private-sector arms-length development company established by Northumberland County Council to drive economic development, regeneration and business growth across the county.


The company currently owns and manages a commercial and industrial property portfolio of over 1 million sq.ft and is continuing to expand


through further acquisition and development. See page 54. The commercial property market in County Durham has


never looked so buoyant – with many premises across the county enjoying full occupancy rates.


Finding the right office space in the right location is an essential part of growing a business and as one of the biggest commercial property landlords in the region, Business Durham has access to a wide range of industrial units, office spaces and science lab spaces. More info on page 56. Kier Property, the development arm of the Kier Group has established itself as a leading development and investment partner across the UK, with a £1.5bn+ development portfolio. The team is continuing to expand its presence in the north of England through the regeneration of land and their strategic leverage of co-investment partnerships which has continued to positively increase investment across all asset classes. For more on this story go to page 60. Darlington - a market town steeped in history and ingenuity – big enough to have a lively buzz, yet small enough to be a real community. With the strongest performing economy in the North East, Darlington is a cost competitive business location with a highly skilled local workforce and fabulous transport connectivity. See page 71.
