CREATING EMPLOYMENT
“ I genuinely believe that Tees Business has transformed business networking across the Tees Valley over the last 10 years, making space for small businesses, tech startups, female-led and service sector organisations to meet, share ideas and collaborate with each other and with more traditional Tees Valley businesses. Their positive outlook and social media reach ensures Tees Valley businesses are kept up to date with news about inward investors, business and individual journeys. It’ s a shift in mindset that is benefitting our area.”
ALWAYS POSITIVE. ALWAYS BUSINESS. ALWAYS TEES.
