'Reflects our ambition': Roofing firm founded in 1987 moves to Gateshead after 3 decades in Chester-le-Street
Wensley Roofing has officially opened the doors to its new Gateshead headquarters after more than three decades in Chester-le-Street.
The move to Team Valley follows a period of sustained growth for the roofing specialist, which was founded in 1987 and had operated from its Chester-le-Street base since 1989.
Managing Director Steven Luke said: "This is a huge milestone for Wensley Roofing. We've seen incredible growth in recent years, and this new facility reflects both the scale of our ambitions and the direction we're heading.

The new premises offer significantly more space, allowing Wensley Roofing to expand its operations and services, including a dedicated unit for PV (solar panel) installation and a newly sectioned area for leadwork.
Luke added: "This move isn't just about growth, it's about creating a better, more accessible working environment for our team and a better base from which to serve our clients. Team Valley is a fantastic location with great transport links, and the new site gives us the opportunity to modernise how we work and look to the future."
In a nod to the company's heritage, Wensley Roofing has preserved its original signage and logo from the Chester-le-Street office, which will be displayed in the new premises.
