Something a little unexpected on the park

Aycliffe Business Park is full of businesses and organisations doing interesting things, and this one is a brilliant reminder of the variety we have here.

Axe-Aholics, based on Cumbie Way, has recently been selected to host the European Championships, just weeks after opening its doors.

That means competitors will be travelling to Newton Aycliffe to take part, bringing a major event to the park and shining a spotlight on another side of the Business Park community.

Alongside manufacturing, engineering, logistics and professional services, the park is also home to leisure, community and visitor-facing businesses that bring people together in completely different ways.

Have you been axe throwing since they reopened their doors?

Something brilliant happening on Aycliffe Business Park?

We want to hear about it.

With hundreds of businesses based across the park, there are good-news stories happening all the time - new contracts, team achievements, charity fundraising, milestones, new starters, events, collaborations, media features and moments worth celebrating.

But we can only share what we know about.

If your business has something positive to shout about, send it in through Tell the Park and help us share more of the people, progress and success happening across the park.

The more we celebrate what is happening here, the more visible and connected the whole park becomes.

Aycliffe Business Park is home to businesses whose work reaches much further than many people realise.

One example is Molekula, based on Millennium Way, which manufactures and distributes fine chemicals and biochemicals for customers across global markets.

This year, the Molekula team has been representing that expertise at major international industry events, including analytica 2026 in Munich and Chemspec Europe 2026 in Cologne.

It is a brilliant reminder that our business park is not just a local business community. Behind the doors of businesses across the park, there is specialist work happening every day that connects Newton Aycliffe to national and international industries.

From engineering and manufacturing to technology, logistics, services and innovation, the park has a much bigger reach than people often see.

We’d love to hear from other businesses on the park too - what is the most interesting international place you have visited for work, or where is the furthest place your projects have taken you?

Some of the best business stories are not just about growth, contracts or investment - they are about people.

A lovely recent example comes from Roman, based on Whitworth Avenue, where Alex Crawley has been promoted to operations director and appointed to the board.

Alex joined the business as an apprentice in 2001 and has spent 25 years progressing through operational roles, helping drive improvement across the company’s manufacturing and business operations.

That is a fantastic career journey, and exactly the kind of story that shows what is possible on Aycliffe Business Park.

ABP is full of businesses where people are learning, developing, stepping up and building long-term careers close to home.

Who in your team deserves a shout-out for quietly growing with the business?

Buses might not be the first thing you think of when talking about business - but they matter.

For Aycliffe Business Park, good transport links can make a real difference to employees, apprentices, customers, visitors and anyone trying to access opportunities across the park.

The North East Mayoral Strategic Authority is currently asking people to have their say on the future of bus services across the region.

The consultation looks at proposed bus franchising, which could change how routes, timetables, fares and service standards are planned and delivered.

Whether you use the bus regularly, rely on it for staff access, or would consider it if services improved, this is a chance to share your views.

Aycliffe Business Park is home to hundreds of businesses and thousands of people, so it is important that our community is part of the conversation.

How could better bus services support your business, your team or your journey to work?

Have your say here: https://www.northeast-ca.gov.uk/consultations/haveyoursay

The consultation closes at 9am on Monday 28 September 2026, so please take a few minutes to share your views before then.

Power Tool World is investing in a new automated warehouse facility as it continues its next phase of growth.

The business has grown into one of the United Kingdom’s largest online retailers of professional power tools and accessories, now dispatching hundreds of orders every day to customers across the country.

Its latest investment will increase warehouse space, improve efficiency and support continued growth, all while the business remains proudly headquartered in Newton Aycliffe.

For Aycliffe Business Park, this is exactly the kind of story worth shouting about.

One of the lovely good-news moments shared at our recent Aycliffe Business Park Community Breakfast was the launch of the sixth edition of 'This Is Tees Valley'.

The new edition was officially unveiled at a special launch event at Teesside International Airport, bringing together regional voices to celebrate the people, places and success stories featured in the magazine.

Now, 10,000 copies are being circulated across the UK, helping share positive stories about the businesses and organisations shaping our region.

And it was brilliant to hear that Aycliffe Business Park is part of that story too.

Finley Structures and Stiller Warehousing & Distribution are both featured in the latest edition, putting two of our businesses in front of readers, investors and decision-makers across the country.

That is something worth celebrating.

So many businesses on the park are doing fantastic work every day, often without shouting about it. Seeing Aycliffe Business Park names featured in a publication like this is a reminder that the success happening here deserves to be seen more widely.

A huge well done to everyone involved in the latest edition, and to the Aycliffe businesses helping showcase the strength, skill and ambition we have right here on the park.
