CENTRAL PARK :
A vibrant and diverse business community
Darlington ’ s Central Park development has become home to a vibrant and diverse community of startup and growing businesses .
Just minutes from one another , sister sites Business Central and Innovation Central provide a choice of co-working , office and lab space , along with the environment and services today ’ s entrepreneurs need to innovate and thrive .
Business Central has supported 200 businesses to start up and grow since opening in 2015 and the addition of Innovation Central will offer entrepreneurs more reasons to base their business in Darlington .
Vanessa Wood , centre manager at Business Central and Innovation Central , said the sister sites will become one collaborative community , sharing the same ethos , team and facilities .
She said : “ We ’ re really excited to see Innovation Central coming to life and to start imagining how the two neighbouring facilities can work together as one collaborative business community .
“ The idea is to connect the sites as much as possible , with tenants of Innovation Central sharing all of our brilliant facilities , including our gym and micro spa . The two centres are just a few minutes ’ walk from one another , so tenants can easily go between and make the most of everything we have to offer .
“ Darlington is buzzing with entrepreneurial potential right now , with the planned move of the Treasury putting us in the headlines again . We have first-hand experience of the incredible demand for quality space for ambitious businesses , so it ’ s exciting to be able to offer such excellent locations .”
