Hub for the future: City’s new look brings hundreds of jobs

For those of you who live in Newcastle or are frequent visitors, you may have noticed somewhat of a transformation down by the River Tyne over recent times.

The one time Goods Warehouse on Forth Banks, which had become run down has been converted into a new base for Northumbria Police and has been followed by further developments in the newly christened Stephenson Quarter.

Stage one of the transformation has seen hotels and bars be built as Newcastle’s landscape continues to change, however there’s further good news for the city as stage two of the regeneration project looks set to bring in around 900 jobs to the area.

The positions are to be created in the construction, office work and teaching sectors as the area behind Central Station prepares to see a technical college and office block among the added to the recent upgrades.

It’s a testament to the city, and the north east of England as a whole that despite unemployment being at an uncomfortably high level, that it will not give up creating opportunities to those who call the region home; welcome news in the north east which is now seen as one of the best, booming cities in the UK!

It’s estimated by the planners of the project that it will see more than £24M invested into the building or and repurposing of structures to give the area not only more jobs, but also see an influx of new businesses to the office space set to be created.

The north east of England remains a popular place to do business, and with the upgraded Stephenson Quarter, the future looks brighter than ever.
