Enterprise House features in the Teesdale

A BARNARD Castle hub for business support is beating the recession by filling most of its units.
Enterprise House, in Harmire Industrial Estate, was created in 1998 and has become a "one-stop shop" for business support and training services in Teesdale.
The building is owned and run by Teesdale Development Company. Its 27 units are rented by a range of small businesses and public-sector organisations, with occupancy levels at Enterprise House at 94.5 per cent.

And despite news that South Durham Enterprise Agency is reducing its operations, Teesdale Development Company is confident Enterprise House can remain an important hub for business.
Alastair Dinwiddie, chairman of Teesdale Development Company, said: "I'm sad to say that the Enterprise Agency is downsizing. But our aim at Enterprise House is to create a good mix of businesses and organisations to create a one-stop shop for enterprise.
"I'm confident we will still be able to maintain that mix and endeavour to provide the same service."
Mr Dinwiddie said he was delighted at the number of units occupied at Enterprise House.

"Eighteen months ago, the rate was 82 per cent but now its 94.5 per cent - that's despite the economic environment and despite the fact that we have lost a number of companies," he added.
Front desk customer services, the best broadband speeds in Teesdale and low rents at Enterprise House were attractive to occupants, Mr Dinwiddie said.
Office space costs £20.50 per square foot - a price that includes a range of services.


Mr Dinwiddie also praised the work of Lynn Todhunter, customer services manager.
Tenants of Enterprise House include Jobcentre Plus, Rural Jobs Fund, Britnett Website Services, and Bishop Auckland College.  Radio Teesdale, Farming Wildlife Advisory Group and Tappers UK are also based there.

And in the past six months, the following new tenants have moved in:
- Chris Fish planning
- Tees, Esk and Wear Valleys NHS Foundation Trust
- Mitchell Grievson accountants
- Harworth Estates
- POD urban design
- Barbara Wright Communications.
