A RETAILER based in the North-East has made a multi-million pound investment in the region.
County Durham-based DP Furniture Express has acquired a 50,000sq ft warehouse and manufacturing facility on the Team Valley, in Gateshead.
The distribution centre will be a base for more than 60 stores nationwide and will provide space for assembly and manufacturing.
Speaking of the £2m investment, DP Furniture Express property director Les Cowburn said: "This is a hugely exciting development, having been a North-East-based company since birth, it is a fantastic opportunity to bring all our logistics and assembly together under one roof - Team Valley is an ideal location to do this."
The distribution centre is in Kingsway South, Team Valley.
