Completion nears on Durham business park

A state of the art business development which has the potential to create dozens of new jobs is nearing completion. B and K Developments is building 20 new business units which will be completed at the end of August, branded as City West Business Park, at Meadowfield Industrial Estate in County Durham.

Billy Morgan, Managing Director of Washington-based B and K Developments, said: “We are really excited about the potential of this development, which is really starting to take shape now. “We’ve put a lot of work into ensuring these units are of the highest standard, but of course this wouldn’t have been possible had One NorthEast not allowed us to purchase some of their land, so we are very grateful to them.”

B and K Developments was founded in July 2005 by husband and wife team Billy and Karon Morgan. Before then the company, which employs three people, operated for over 20 years as W Morgan Builders. During this time it was involved in projects including the construction of Bowburn Nursing Home and Chilton Care Centre.

Ed Rowley, Acting Director of Regeneration at One NorthEast, said: “B and K is a growing company with its roots firmly in the region, so I am delighted they shared our views on the potential of this site, and we were able to work with them to see their ideas become a reality.

“We need companies like them to lead on developments such as this, because if we’re to establish the region as the forefront of business and industry, it’s vital we have more quality accommodation to offer expanding regional, national and international firms.”
