The huge Tees Advanced Manufacturing Park (TeesAMP) development – set to create 1,000 new jobs in the region, has reached a key milestone as the ground is broken. The £55m scheme will be delivered over an 11 hectare site – with the focus of addressing the national shortage of high quality buildings suitable for modern advanced manufacturing companies and processes.

The first phase of the TeesAMP site, which will be a key focus of our Tees Valley Development Plans Conference, will see the delivery of 180,000 sq ft of unit space across seventeen buildings. It’s all been made possible through funding achieved including:

  • £12.5m from Middlesbrough Council
  • £7.65m from Tees Valley Combined Authority
  • £2.3m from SSI Taskforce

Ben Houchen, Tees Valley Mayor, said: ”TeesAMP is a game-changing opportunity to attract cutting-edge advanced manufacturing firms to the Tees Valley. The more businesses we have investing, employing, training and exporting in our area the better for local workers. It’s fantastic to see the work beginning to make our ambitious vision a reality.”

Greg Clark, Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, was present at the ground-breaking ceremony. He said: ”I’m pleased to be part of the ground-breaking of the TeesAMP which will play a hugely important role in driving forward delivery of our modern Industrial Strategy in the North East while bringing 1,000 highly skilled jobs to the region/”
