North East creative entrepreneur opens first office

North East entrepreneur and owner of Maxine Johnston Marketing, Maxine Johnston, has opened her company’s first office, following a self funded expansion.

The business, which has been trading for nine months, has expanded into Prospect Business Park at Leadgate.

After a lengthy search of available properties, Maxine opted for office space at Prospect Business Park near Consett.

She opened the doors to her office last week to local businesses by holding an office open afternoon, with the event attracting over 50 business owners from across the North East.

Maxine said: “Working off the dining room table was starting to become a bit impractical.

“Every morning before I could start work I would have to clear the table of Moshi Monsters and rainbow looms!

“Any parent, regardless of whether they run a business, will probably understand this.The move into offices is the first step of the ladder.

“Prospect Business Park is an ideal place to meet with clients and develop my business further.”

Manager of the business park, Michael McVickers, said “We are delighted to welcome Maxine as our latest tenant.

“It is great to see so many young businesses coming to Prospect Business Park and enjoying the facilities we have here.”
