Cramlington's Mayborn Group secures new global headquarters

Mayborn Group - home of baby brands Tommee Tippee and Gro - has secured the lease on a new office building on Balliol Business Park, North Tyneside, from which it will drive its next phase of growth.

The new site, which will become the global headquarters for Mayborn, offers more space than its current office in Cramlington, and will be fitted out to Mayborn’s specification to create a unique working environment reflecting the sector.

The announcement follows Mayborn’s £22m acquisition of The Gro Group.

Steve Parkin, CEO of Mayborn, said: “Mayborn has ambitious plans to grow internationally and help more Mums and Dads to embrace the rollercoaster ride of bringing up a baby.

“In the last 12 months, we have recruited over 40 people into UK based roles, acquired the Gro company here in the UK, and our Italian distributor in Italy.

“We hope to move in early Autumn once we have implemented a very exciting fit out which reflects our brands and the customers we are here to serve.”

The move will enable Mayborn to recruit more people to the North East as the business continues to grow. Over 160 people, based in Cramlington, are expected to move to the new site.

Commenting on the move, Patrick Melia, chief executive of North Tyneside Council, added: “We are delighted that we have been able to support Mayborn in finding a suitable new home here in North Tyneside, securing these and future jobs for our region.

“Mayborn is a success story and the move will enable it to attract fresh talent to our region as well as, in time, create more high quality jobs which will enhance our local economy.”
