Space to Think

This summer has heralded lots of incredibly positive news for Sunderland's progress. We've seen the launch of the much-anticipated £4m Sheepfolds Stables, a development that is a major contributor to hundreds of jobs being created by the city's thriving food and drink scene. The green light was given to the £25m Crown Works Studios and a major new manufacturing skills academy is also planned. Sunderland BID has also been central to much positivity and bringing together city centre businesses. We're passionate about playing our part as affiliate members and shining the light on our cherished city for all of the right reasons.
