South Tyneside is located in the heart of North East England; its unique location in the centre of the region attracts a positive mix of global companies exporting from the Port of Tyne and home-grown successes creating jobs and opportunities across a range of sectors.

In the last 30 years, the region has become one of Europe’s principal automotive manufacturing centres, and continues to grow. The nearby Nissan plant has attracted a host of tier one suppliers to the area. Due to the availability of skills and unparalleled productivity, these suppliers have expanded to serve OEMs located throughout Europe.

The International Advanced Manufacturing Park (IAMP), located on land north of Nissan, will be a nationally important and internationally respected location for advanced manufacturing and European-scale supply chain industries.

From 2018 onwards, over 390,000m2 industrial floorspace will be developed alongside new infrastructure and services, providing an attractive working environment for businesses to thrive. The IAMP benefits from Enterprise Zone status offering enhanced capital allowances for investment in plant and machinery.

The development is a partnership between South Tyneside Council and Sunderland City Council, supported by the North East Local Enterprise Partnership and UK Government. The Councils’ Development Partner, Henry Boot Developments Ltd, will deliver commercial opportunities to end occupiers.
