Aycliffe Business Park is the biggest single employment area in County Durham and one of the largest business parks in the UK. Some of the park’s biggest employers include high-profile businesses such as Gestamp Tallent, Hitachi Rail Europe, 3M, Inovyn, Husqvarna and PWS. While engineering and manufacturing remain at the core of Aycliffe Business Park, a number of new developments in recent years have brought dozens more SMEs from the services and leisure sectors to the park, creating a vibrant, busy employment hub and a wide variety of industries.
