SPOTLIGHT ON THE TYNE
SKILLS AND TRAINING
As well as investing in the infrastructure to support the growing number of subsea, offshore and renewable businesses in the area, North Tyneside Council is also working closely with local training providers and public sector bodies to ensure the local workforce has the specialist skills and training needed by companies looking to invest in the region.
Sector specific training providers in the North East include; Maersk Training, Advanced Industrial Solutions, Siemens, Energy Academy, Narec, and Future University. A new Neptune National Centre for Subsea and Offshore Engineering is also being proposed by Newcastle University.
PROPERTY PORTFOLIO In addition to offering world class commercial property with river access, North Tyneside also has some of the most modern, flexible and affordable business and industrial space on the market in urban locations, including Cobalt; the UK’s largest office park and Quorum Business Park; which offers one of the most attractive location packages in the country.
North Tyneside Council and property developers, Highbridge, have also recently launched Indigo Park, a new 82 acre strategic employment site capable of accommodating in excess of 1.3 million sq ft of new bespoke/purpose built premises for manufacturing and distribution companies. Once fully developed, this scheme has the capacity to generate over 1,000 jobs.
North Tyneside’s diverse economy is also home to a large number of globally competitive blue-chip companies from other key sectors including Proctor and Gamble, Balfour Beatty, Santander, Tesco Bank, Greggs, Aesica Pharmaceuticals and Convergys.
COST COMPETITIVE LOCATION Competitive wages and lower operating costs make North Tyneside one of the most financially rewarding places to locate in the UK. High quality office and industrial space is available for around half the cost of that in London and the South East and up to 20% less than in Leeds or Manchester. Average wages are also around 10% below the national average.
