A FORMER mining town is hoping to cement its reputation in the call centre industry, with a £6m business park.
Two 30,000sq ft office units on the new Whitehouse Office Park site in Peterlee, County Durham, are finished and the third, larger unit is due to be ready at the end of the year.
Andrew Peirson, surveyor with King Sturge who, together with Struan Gunn of CBRE, is overseeing the letting of the offices, said: "Each of the units cost more than £2m to build and we are expecting them to be used as call centres or large company headquarters.
"What makes the development such an attractive base is the fact that it is based within easy distance and links to the main cities and towns in our region."
