Tesco opts for Teesport
May 3 2008 by Peter McCusker, The Journal
TESCO’S decision to open a new £50m import centre on the banks of the River Tees has been welcomed.
Work is set to start by the summer on the centre at Teesport, Middlesbrough, creating around 800 jobs over the next two years.
Landowners PD Ports said it had reached an agreement with the retailer to create the 1.2m sq ft centre.
Joanne Fryett, North East Chamber of Commerce head of member relations, said: “PD Ports has shown remarkable energy and tenacity to win its fight to get a deep sea container terminal here in the Tees Valley.
“This announcement shows exactly why that campaign was waged and how this region can benefit directly from such a bold move. This is tremendous news and will further build on the outstanding recent success of the Tees Valley economy.”
