Businesses are being given an exclusive opportunity to step inside one of the region’s most exciting new developments – as part of the next Aycliffe Business Park Community (ABPC) breakfast event, taking place on Friday, 21st November, 8-10am.
Hosted in partnership with Merchant Park Developments, the final ABPC event of 2025 will be held inside the company’s impressive new 53,993 sq ft warehouse unit – the first phase of a £9m commercial scheme that’s helping to reshape the landscape of Aycliffe Business Park.
The brand new building, located on Millennium Way next to Hitachi Rail, marks the start of a wider 17-acre development that’s set to deliver more than 1,100 jobs across three phases.
Planning permission is already in place for two further units of 89,000 sq ft and 126,000 sq ft – underlining Merchant Park’s confidence in Aycliffe’s continued growth.
Delegates attending the November breakfast will be among the first to tour the new facility and hear directly from the team behind the development, including Merchant Park directors Adrian Goodall, Geoff Hunton and Michael Chicken.
Merchant Park’s investment continues a proud legacy of regeneration in Newton Aycliffe.
The firm was behind the original site that attracted Hitachi Rail’s £82m train manufacturing facility a decade ago – one of the region’s biggest-ever inward investment successes.
The November breakfast promises a fascinating insight into a development that’s driving local growth and job creation – and a chance for business park members to network within a landmark new space.
