A YORK laboratory equipment manufacturer is expanding with a new office in the North East.

Yorlab, which has its head office in Dunnington, has opened a site in South Hetton, led by branch manager Amy Reay.

Previously located at Bearpark on the western side of Durham, the new office is based just off the A19, and has been opened to give easier access to the company’s growing client base in the north-east.

In addition to the new office, Yorlab has also launched new branding, and a website.

Alex Davis, managing director of YorLab, said: ‘’The north east is a very important part of our business and we are delighted to have a new office at South Hetton from which to serve our growing list of customers in the area.”
