North East businesses will have the chance to learn more about the new £38m National Biologics Manufacturing Centre to be built on the Tees Valley Enterprise Zone site.

The Teesside Engineering Network (TEN) will be in Darlington to deliver the session on Friday October 18 which details how the national centre, on their doorstep, will benefit them.

Jonathan Robinson, business manager at The Centre For Process Innovation (CPI), who have been charged by the UK Government to establish and operate the facility, will describe its objectives and the potential benefits for the North East science and engineering communities.

He will be joined by Jake Tompkins, managing director at Modus Seabed Intervention Limited.

Jamie Brown, from Francis Brown, Ltd said: “We are delighted to secure such high profile speakers for the latest TEN event. They will be bringing with them a wealth of knowledge and expertise which is essential information for the local companies working within the engineering supply chain.”
