Fujifilm’s investment in Billingham is not a one-off. It is a long-term vote of confidence in our town, our workforce and our future. The £400 million-plus expansion is significant for jobs, for skills and for the next generation of opportunity here on Teesside.

When Health Minister Sharon Hodgson visited, she said it was the best facility she had seen. That says a great deal about what is being built here in Billingham. It says we have the talent. We have the skills. And we have a future in the industries that will shape the world.

From heavy industry to health and life sciences, Billingham continues to show what this country can do. #Billingham #stocktonontees #Teesside #Fujifilm #LabourDelivery

Another new business is coming to Stockton High Street. Taylor’s Bakery and Deli will fit right in, just opposite the new Riverside. There are new shops opening in that area to boost our existing independent offer across the town. #stocktononteessmallbusiness #teesside

German business is a strong partner for the UK - from life sciences and medtech to automotive and advanced manufacturing 🇩🇪🇬🇧 Excellent exchange with Minister @ChrisMcDonaldMP and leading German companies on the UK Modern Industrial Strategy, one year on.

Three days and you can traverse the 55-metre land bridge and extension to the Millennium footbridge, linking directly from the High Street to the riverside.

I’ve worked in steel all my life and I’ve run a significant steel business too. I know the last Government’s failure was so damaging. Productivity dropped off a cliff on their watch as they did not understand industry and failed to treat steel as an important strategic asset.

This British Steel Bill is about changing that. As Industry and Steel Minister, I’m bringing it forward to lay the foundations for investment, higher productivity and the regrowth of British steel. #stocktonontees #Teesside #Steel #BritishIndustry #LabourDelivery

Great to see another new business coming to Stockton High Street. A family-friendly arcade bringing together retro favourites and newer games is exactly the sort of energy we want to see in the town centre. #stocktonontees #Stockton #HighStreet #SupportLocal #Teesside

For others, it might be the chance to discover a bit of gaming history. Whether that is the streets of rage, the odd Monkey Island humour, a Golden Axe in hand, or the blur of Wipeout and TimeSplitters.

Whatever your era, it is another reason to come into town, spend time on the High Street and enjoy what Stockton has to offer. A really positive addition to the town centre.

Stockton has a proud cultural life, and music is a big part of it. A great conversation about local talent, local venues and how we make sure the next generation of artists can grow here on Teesside.

Tees Music Alliance have brought back to life some of our amazing venues in Stockton, such as The Georgian Theatre and The Green Room. However, venues are nothing without the talented artists. They also help discover and support the best we have in Stockton and Teesside.
