Sunderland Echo finds a new home at North East BIC

Local news outlet Sunderland Echo is relocating to new offices at the North East Business and Innovation Centre (BIC) next week.

Situated in Sunderland’s Enterprise Park East, the BIC provides office space, facilities and a range of support for SMEs in the region.

Joy Yates, Sunderland Echo editor and JPIMedia editorial director of North East said: “We are very excited to be moving into the BIC into a fit-for-purpose newsroom space where our journalists will continue delivering relevant and engaging content for our audiences.

“The location couldn’t be better, we have wonderful views of the Northern Spire bridge, that was named by our readers, and we are minutes away from the Stadium of Light.

“The facilities at the BIC are perfect for us and we have been made extremely welcome by BIC CEO Paul McEldon and his team.”

Paul McEldon, chief executive at the North East BIC, added: “We are delighted the Echo has chosen to begin their next chapter at the BIC.

“They are such a well-respected, influential business and we look forward to them joining us here at Sunderland Enterprise Park.”
