SOUTH Tyneside Council's Economic Development team have made it easier for companies to source premises in the borough with the introduction of a new database.

The up-to-date Land and Premises Listings have been compiled by the council with the input of commercial property agents in a drive to put South Tyneside on the map as a prime location for business.

Offering an independent, one-stop shop for all relocation and expansion enquiries, companies can now quickly access relevant information through a customised search.

The comprehensive list includes both council and private sector industrial units, offices and land, which will help new investors or companies from within the borough looking to expand.

To access the Lands and Premises Listings contact Richard Fishwick, Economic Development Assistant on: (0191) 424 7000.
