INVESTMENT READY Why the UK’ s biggest opportunities start at Teesworks
For businesses looking to invest, expand or relocate, finding the right site has never been more important. Investors need more than available land – they need infrastructure, connectivity and the confidence that projects can move quickly. That’ s where Teesworks stands apart … As the UK’ s largest industrial regeneration project, Teesworks offers more than 600 acres of currently available, development-ready land, including large continuous plots capable of supporting major industrial and commercial investment. With planning, utilities and specialist delivery teams already in place, businesses can accelerate projects without many of the delays associated with traditional development sites.
Located within the UK’ s first and largest freeport, Teesworks combines tax and customs incentives with outstanding transport links. Direct road and rail connections, proximity to Teesside International Airport and access to worldclass port infrastructure create a location that’ s built for UK and international trade.
Crucially, the site has the infrastructure to support growth. Immediate power capacity, secure industrial water supplies and estate-wide connectivity mean businesses can focus on investing rather than overcoming infrastructure challenges. Supporting this is Steel River Power, which owns and operates Teesworks’ dedicated private wire network, one of the largest in the UK, providing resilient, scalable energy infrastructure that helps businesses bring major developments online more quickly.
Combined with a strong regional supply chain and a skilled workforce drawn from universities, technical colleges and industry-backed academies across the Tees Valley, Teesworks provides businesses with the foundations to grow with confidence.
That proposition is already attracting world-class investment. Businesses and projects including SeAH Wind, Net Zero Teesside Power, Viridor’ s Tees Valley Energy Recovery Facility and Steel River Quay are helping transform the former steelworks into one of the UK’ s most significant industrial hubs, reinforcing Teesworks’ reputation as a location where major developments move from ambition to delivery.
Whether supporting advanced manufacturing, clean energy, logistics or emerging industries such as the AI sector, Teesworks offers a rare combination of development-ready land, strategic infrastructure and global connectivity – creating one of the UK’ s most compelling locations for investment.
Steel River Quay
A key part of the Teesworks proposition is Steel River Quay – a purpose-built deep-water heavy-lift facility designed to support major industrial and offshore energy projects.
Offering direct access to global shipping routes alongside extensive laydown space and seamless road and rail connections, the quay enables manufacturers, developers and logistics operators to move oversized cargo efficiently. Together with the wider Teesworks estate, it provides a unique end-toend proposition that few industrial locations in the UK can match.
