The nearby Port of Blyth provides a major deepwater logistics hub, supporting offshore energy, subsea and heavy industry supply chains. The site is part of the Energy Central cluster, including global leading innovation and test facilities at the Offshore & Renewable Energy Catapult.
The reintroduced Northumberland Line will enhance passenger connectivity, improving access to skilled labour across the region coupled with rail freight connectivity via proximity to the Port of Blyth, enabling efficient rail-linked logistics for heavy and oversized cargo.

Owned by Northumberland County Council, N-SIS has an outline masterplan to deliver flexible industrial and manufacturing accommodation of over 3,25 million sq.ft including units ranging from 10,900 sq.ft to 670,300 sq.ft. The scale of the site allows flexibility to combine plots and units to accommodate larger occupational requirements. The site is located at the heart of Northumberland’s green-energy cluster, offering a unique opportunity to be part of Energy Central, Northumberland’s renewable energy cluster. Neighbouring investors include JDR Cable Systems and their 69,000sqm state-of-the-art subsea cable manufacturing facility and the North Sea Link Interconnector, a 720km subsea interconnector which connects Great Britain with Norway and provides opportunities for the shared use of renewable energy.
“Having our assembly facility at Port of Blyth offers so many benefits, aside from direct access to the north sea, such as being near world-class Engineering expertise, and a fantastic local supply chain.”
