TEESSIDE FREEPORT

Located in the North East of England, the Teesside Freeport is the UK's best connected freeport, unlocking global markets and trade hubs... In March 2021, the Tees Valley was announced as one of the first places in the UK to receive freeport status. The Teesside Freeport stretches across the region, including Teesworks, Teesport, the Port of Middlesbrough, the Port of Hartlepool, Redcar Bulk Terminal, LV Logistics, Wilton International and Teesside International Airport... Building on existing manufacturing strengths, particularly in chemical and materials processing, biomanufacturing, offshore wind and renewable activity, Teesside Freeport will create more than 18,000 jobs and boost the local economy by billions. And by spreading out the freeport, maximum benefit can be gained for the people of the Tees Valley.
