Northumberland business creates jobs by moving into Newcastle during 50th anniversary
Heathline Commercials has taken on the assets and premises of a former HGV and LGV garage in Wallsend to strengthen its footprint across Tyneside and the wider North East.
The Cramlington-based company is a family-run business, which will this year celebrate its 50th anniversary.
The acquisition has enabled Heathline to almost double in size, increasing its total workforce from 14 to 22 while expanding its operational capacity and geographical coverage.
Gavin Cape, engineering director at Heathline Commercials, said: "The acquisition of the workshops in Wallsend represents an exciting and important step forward as we continue to grow our presence across the North East.
"Retaining the existing workshops and, crucially, the skilled team was a priority for us from the outset. Their experience, technical knowledge and customer relationships align perfectly with our own values and standards.
“As we celebrate 50 years in business, this move enables us to invest further in the region, create new opportunities, and continue delivering the reliable, high-quality service our customers expect."
