Paul Tells All
FOR OVER 15 YEARS businesses in
the Durham area were kept in touch
with local initiatives and general
business news through the Business
Talk newsletter.
It also provided a valuable shop
window to profile and promote local
companies.
Business Talk was produced for
Durham City Council from an original
idea by freelance writer David Pike
and became a popular and important
line of communication between the
local authority and its business
community.
Sadly, the City Council has now
disappeared to make way for the new
unitary authority for the county of
Durham. But the good news is that
euVue is to produce a web edition of
Business Talk online - and for the
whole of the north east of England.
It will complement our Business and
Finance section
euVue Business Talk will also work
in tandem with the North East
Business Directory - a fresh new
approach to help business promote
their goods and services. We will be
working with business network
providers to develop a comprehensive
guide the best on offer in the north east
of England.
The North East Business Directory
will be distinctively different to other
directories. All business entries will be
listed by classification and will have
their own illustrated magazine style
page which the euVue team will help
to write and design. You can also have
audio and video sections to enhance
your marketing profile.

Business Feature Story
Nissan’s Sunderland Plant, in partnership with Regional
Development Agency One North East, has won a contract
to assemble a new petrol engine from next year, securing
future engine production on Wearside.
Assembly of the 2.0 litre engine, codenamed ‘MR’, will
immediately safeguard up to 130 jobs with the expectation
that an additional 200 posts will be created by 2013
depending on the market.
The contract has been secured through a £1.94 million
grant from One North East, supporting a £12.92 million
investment by Nissan over the next four years to upgrade
and install new facilities allowing around 65,000 engines to
be produced annually from May 2010.
The announcement is part of Nissan’s ongoing initiative to
localise production close to, or within, target markets. This
minimises logistics costs and reduces exposure to
exchange rates as well as allowing the company to react
more quickly to customer demand.
It follows last week’s announcement that the Nissan European Mother Site for Battery production
would be based at Sunderland. That new industry is becoming an increasingly important part of the
automotive sector, but conventional engines will remain vital to the plant’s activities for a number of
years.
