Welcome

Welcome to the start of an exciting, ambitious and unique collaboration, the first across two local authority areas, which will transform the economic landscape of the twin cities of Gateshead and Newcastle over the next 15 years.

1NG Limited, NewcastleGateshead's city development company, is a private sector-led partnership, which will radically improve competitiveness in the urban core, through the delivery of a series of key strategic development and regeneration projects.

1NG has been initiated by three public sector partners - the two local authorities and regional development agency One NorthEast - but will be an operationally independent business-led body that uses private sector expertise to deliver city centre regeneration.

We feel Gateshead and Newcastle need to be regarded as a single economic area because of proximity, direct and indirect economic interaction, image and public perception. Together, we can compete more effectively in the global market place with other major European cities.

Following the renaissance on the neighbouring Quaysides in recent years, we are now ready to step up a gear and transform the area on both sides of the bridges by galvanising our combined economic strength.

A top flight Chair, Chief Executive and Board members have been recruited for 1NG, who can attract new business, new investment and new jobs to this vibrant area.

We are currently re-developing the 1NG website, please check back soon for the new site. For further information you can contact 1NG at info@1ng.org.uk or by calling 44(0)191 243 5801.
