Aycliffe is buzzing with good news over Hitachi and Ebac bringing prestige and jobs to our town, forgetting Gestamp Tallent who are steadily expanding their plant and workforce to meet a growing demand for their automotive products.
This long established company is now the biggest employer in Aycliffe with 1500 workers and its expansion is having a dramatic effect on the Business Park infrastructure.
The firm has become a vital part of the Nissan supply chain designing and building chassis and parts for most motor manufacturers including BMW, Ford, Jaguar, Honda and VW. Latest accounts show sales of £420 milion for 2013.
Newton News has been invited to report on the progress of Tallents over recent years and is preparing a feature for release soon.
