Central manager appointed for Business Central Darlington

A business centre manager has been appointed to head up the North East Business and Innovation Centre’s (BIC) newest venture, Business Central.

Vanessa Wood, will be heading up the office development, located in the Central Park Enterprise Zone, Darlington. The BIC is working with Darlington Borough Council and the £6.6 million project has been supported with funding from the European Regional Development Fund and the Homes and Communities Agency.

Vanessa has many years of experience managing office space and is looking forward to the centre opening this spring, she said:

“It is exciting to be a part of this new development the centre will offer space for up to 60 businesses, meeting rooms and an Open Space co-working facility.

“This is a great opportunity for forward thinking businesses who wish to take advantage of brand new state of the art facilities as well as having access to the support services on offer.

“Even those who don’t require a permanent office can take advantage of the Open Space facility and I see this as a real boost to businesses and networking facilities in the area.

“Business Central is perfectly located for travel links, situated right next to the railway station as well as fantastic road, bus and airport access.

“The BIC team is very much focused creating a community, a centre for businesses not just to work from but to feel an alliance to and this is something that I am confident we can build upon at Business Central.”

David Howell, director of operations at the BIC added:

“I am delighted to welcome Vanessa on board, her wealth of experience will add more value to Business Central and I am looking forward to working with her to create a bustling business community in Darlington.”
