Bringing Aycliffe Business Park Together | 5 INCLUDED IN THE MAY-JUNE ISSUE OF AYCLIFFE TODAY BUSINESS… WELCOME FOREWORD By Martin Walker Welcome to the May-June issue of Aycliffe Today Business – a special issue. This is the 10th edition of ATB, some 18 months since we launched. Some people might have doubted there’d be enough news going around Aycliffe Business Park to fill 16 pages every other month. But, since starting with 16 pages in November 2012, we’re now up to 36 pages – more than twice our original size. We’re featuring new faces every issue – there are regulars, too, of course – and telling everyone about all the exciting news and developments that happen here on Aycliffe Business Park is something I thoroughly enjoy doing. To celebrate this 10th issue, we’ve included some special new content which uses a revolutionary App to bring the magazine to life, Harry Potter-style! Read more about it on page 7 . New to the magazine in this issue are Upex Electrical Distributors, Aycliffe decorating firm Q-DEC, the University of Sunderland and hair extensions company Lox of Love. Naturally, I extend a warm welcome to all of them. Our main feature is with South West Durham Training CEO Trevor Alley, who is on a mission to get more businesses to take on Apprentices. /06 NEWS Finley Structures appoint new senior quantity surveyor… /07 THAT’S MAGIC!
