Development Company Expands

Tyne and Wear Development Company has expanded as it looks to increase support for investors.

The agency has recruited Alma Harrison, who was previously international business manager at Newcastle University, as strategic accounts officer.

Alma will deliver support geared towards meeting the long-term needs of key businesses and investors in Tyne and Wear. She brings a wealth of experience to the post, having also worked for Business Link and run her own company.

Paul Buie, manage of Tyne and Wear Development Company, said: "Alma's appointment will help us to improve the service we provide to investors across the region.

"Her arrival increases the level of expertise available in the team, giving us more scope to look after investors' long-term development needs, support future economic growth and encourage job creation."

Alma said: "I'm looking forward to working closely with businesses across the region. Part of my role will also be to assist those companies already in Tyne and Wear which are investing for growth."
