Local projects in Tyne and Wear
In Tyne and Wear we mostly see showrooms and trade counters and pharmacies and healthcare premises. Each has its own landlord rules, service loads and access limits, which we look at on the first visit.
North East towns have seen a wave of independent businesses taking on vacant units, and fit-outs here often start with bringing a tired shell back into usable condition.
