Rightworx Ltd, which also occupies an industrial unit at Harvey Court, Low Willington, is also planning to develop on land in the area as part of their expansion plans. The company is using its offices at St Stephen’s Court for its contact centre.
Buston & Maughan Ltd, which supplies heating and plumbing solutions across the North East, took up office space in March 2020 after previously being a Business Durham tenant at Crook Business Centre.
Meanwhile, Kudos Audio Ltd designs and makes its hand-built loudspeakers in its industrial space at Harvey Court. The firm required additional space for its sister company Kudos Audio Design and is using its unit at St Stephen’s Court as a demonstration and design suite for its products.
Derek Gilligan, managing director at Kudos Audio said: “St Stephen’s Court was the ideal choice for us being a modern and pleasant location to bring our international clients to and has the added benefit of being adjacent to our main factory.”
