A major industrial and logistics development in the North East has reached a key milestone after the completion of infrastructure works designed to pave the way for up to 1,000 jobs.
Rula Developments has completed Phase 1 enabling works at Teeslink, a 54-acre site in Stockton-on-Tees now ready for industrial and logistics units.
Seymour Civil Engineering created development plateaus, extended the highway and connected utilities, leaving fully serviced plots ready for bespoke buildings.
Anthony Clitheroe, development director at Rula Developments, said: "Completing the Phase 1 enabling works is an important milestone for Teeslink.
"With serviced plots, development plateaus, highway access and utilities now in place, we can move quickly to deliver bespoke buildings that meet each occupier’s operational and commercial requirements.
"Rula has extensive experience in providing efficient property solutions for businesses of all sizes.
"We can offer freehold and leasehold options on flexible terms and deliver construction programmes from as little as 28 weeks.
"We welcome the opportunity to explore requirements with businesses at an early stage, with no obligation or commitment."
Planning consent for the scheme was secured in September 2025.
Detailed consent covered the access road and services, while outline consent allows up to 775,000 sq ft of warehousing and employment space, with units ranging from 3,000 sq ft to 500,000 sq ft.
Teeslink is being delivered through a partnership between Rula and Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council.
The council bought the site in 2021 with money from the Tees Valley Combined Authority’s Indigenous Growth Fund, then chose Rula as development partner through a competitive tender.
The Indigenous Growth Fund has invested £3 million to unlock the site, which is expected to support up to 1,000 jobs.
Rula can offer bespoke freehold or leasehold buildings, with construction taking as little as 28 weeks and occupation available from the third quarter of 2027.
Occupiers will get up to 15 MVA of power, road and rail links and lower running costs from buildings designed to high ESG standards.
Located next to Eaglescliffe railway station and just one mile from the A66, Teeslink offers strong road and rail links across the region.
Councillor Paul Rowling, deputy leader and cabinet member for resources and regeneration at Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council, said: "Teeslink will be a vital employment site for the region, boosting the local economy. I’m pleased to see the Phase 1 works are now complete.
"Eaglescliffe is already home to a range of major businesses and strong transport links, including the redevelopment of Eaglescliffe Station and new cycleways.
"With Teeslink prepared, Rula’s next step is to deliver buildings tailored to businesses’ requirements.
"Stockton-on-Tees is a business-friendly Borough and we welcome all approaches from those interested in investing here or who would like to find out more."
Tees Valley Mayor Ben Houchen also welcomed the progress.
He said: "Supporting fantastic developments like this is about making sure our region has the high-quality business space companies need to invest, grow and create skilled, well-paid jobs.
"By backing projects that bring new life and new opportunities to our sites, we’re helping to strengthen our economy and give more local people the chance to build successful careers right here in Teesside."
