Four organisations, ranging from a multi-national pharmaceutical company to a small professional services firm, have chosen Wynyard Business Park for their new office accommodation, creating eight jobs at the Tees Valley office development.

Acting on behalf of Northumberland Estates, joint agents Dodds Brown and Knight Frank have let serviced office accommodation to Macleods Pharma UK Limited, Paul Card Recruitment, F W Capital Limited and Armstrong Consultancy Services in Wynyard Park House, Wynyard Business Park.

Widely regarded as one of the most prestigious office developments in the Tees Valley, Wynyard Business Park is located close to the junction of the A19 with the A689, just north of Billingham, and is a hub for professional and engineering services companies.

According to Stephen Brown, Senior Partner at Teesside independent commercial property consultants Dodds Brown, it was not just the quality of the office accommodation, but the business park’s excellent location and on-site facilities which attracted the new tenants.

He says: “Wynyard Park is a prestigious location offering quality office space in a superb environment with good road connections not only to Teesside, but also to Tyneside, Wearside and Durham, and the rest of the UK.”

“The Wynyard lifestyle with first class on-site facilities, including a café, nursery, dentist and gym, and proximity to the sought after executive housing at Wynyard Park, to leisure facilities at Wynyard Hall Hotel and to top schools, also added to the appeal of this premier office development for our new tenants,” says Rebecca Maddison, Office Agency Surveyor at the Newcastle office of Knight Frank.
