A Durham firm is helping to overhaul information technology systems at Newcastle Airport.

Technology and business process experts Waterstons has carried out a three-month review of the performance of IT systems at the airport.

Waterstons director Sally Waterston said: "Our focus is to re-align the airport's IT strategy and come up with a platform that combines the best of the existing systems with the latest techologies to support existing and future needs. We are confident that the airport will see a very positive return on its investment."

Waterstons employs more than 50 staff and was recently listed in the Northern Deloitte and Touche Fast 50 Technology companies.
