A North-East trade park has been launched with the arrival of its first tenant.
UK Land Estates announced the first tenant at the Tyne Tunnel Trade Park is plumbing merchants Plumb Center. It is part of Wolseley UK, whose brands Plumb Center, Build Center, Pipe Center, Parts Center, Drain Center, Climate Center and Hire Center are all suppliers to the North-East's construction industry.
Jimmy Bell, Plumb Center branch manager, said: "The Trade Park is situated in a prime location just off the A19 and Coast Road.
"Being so close to the main road network enables us to capture passing trade as well as assisting existing customers and reinforces our position in the market."
The 11-unit scheme occupies a prominent position adjacent to the A19 Tyne Tunnel approach and the A1058 Coast Road.
