Supporting Stockton-on-Tees businesses
Stockton-on-Tees is a market town on the River Tees and the largest borough in the Tees Valley by population. Its wide high street holds a long-running market, and the town centre is being reshaped with a new riverside park in place of the former Castlegate shopping centre. The borough includes Billingham, Thornaby, Yarm, Ingleby Barwick and Norton, each with its own character and business mix.
Billingham is a major centre for the chemicals and process industries, and it is home to Fujifilm's biologics manufacturing site, which makes biologic medicines, as well as other chemical and manufacturing firms. Wynyard Business Park and the offices and retail parks at Teesside Park and Preston Farm hold professional services, logistics and manufacturing businesses. Yarm is an affluent market town with many professional firms, independent shops and restaurants. Stockton Riverside College provides further education.
Chemicals, biotech and process businesses need IT that meets regulatory and customer requirements: controlled access to data, audit trails, encrypted devices, MFA and backups that are tested. Suppliers and contractors to these sites are increasingly asked to show good security practice. Professional services firms in Wynyard and Yarm need Microsoft 365 configured well and email protected from fraud. Retailers and hospitality businesses in Stockton and Yarm need websites, booking and ordering systems, and reliable payments. Small trades and home-based businesses across the borough want sensible email, backups and a website that works.
