I worked with Newton Press several years ago. Newton Press received a grant of £110k to support the development from the Strategic Economic Infrastructure Fund (SEIF) element of the North East Rural Growth Network, a programme designed to accelerate business growth in rural communities.
Family business Newton Press has converted its old Newton Aycliffe site, a former munitions factory, into workspace units that can house up to 11 small businesses. The building, which has been re-named Sydney House in honour of Newton Press founder Syd Howarth MBE, aims to provide workspace to small rural businesses. Mr Howarth’s three sons Paul, Stuart and Christopher, who now run the business, plan to officially open Sydney House this summer, with six tenants already signed up.
