Harlyn finds new home at Blyth landmark
An offshore logistics company is set to move into one of Blyth’s most recognisable historic buildings as part of its growth strategy.
Harlyn Solutions Ltd will relocate its headquarters later this year to the Grade II-listed former Port of Blyth Harbour Commissioners Office.
Constructed in 1913, the building’s striking Roman Doric columns and heritage features are being carefully restored, while its interiors are redesigned into state-of-the-art office space.
Once complete, the headquarters will provide a central hub for Harlyn’s expanding operations and international project delivery.
Bosses say the move – a collaboration between Harlyn and the Port of Blyth – marks a “significant milestone” for the offshore logistics specialist, which delivers large-scale engineering and transport projects across the globe.
They add the new base will replace Harlyn’s current home at Blyth Workspace, following a long-term lease agreement with the Port of Blyth, with the move reinforcing the company’s commitment to the town and the wider maritime industry.
Hamish Adamson, managing director of Harlyn Solutions, which employs around 30 staff locally and also operates from South Harbour, said: “We’re very excited about the move and we can’t wait to invite clients and new employees in.
“Having our own offices marks a significant milestone for the company, and there’s a satisfying synergy that our new home is so closely linked to the Port of Blyth.
“We work closely with the Port of Blyth on many of our projects, and being located here is perfect for our growing list of offshore work.”
Alasdair Kerr, commercial director at Port of Blyth, added: “We are delighted to support Harlyn’s continued growth as they breathe new life into this historically significant building at the Port of Blyth.
“Having worked closely together on various projects for several years, it is fantastic to see Harlyn’s global transport solution service thriving.
“Their presence further strengthens Blyth’s position as the UK’s leading offshore energy support base.”
