Why business on Teesside is NOT dying - and why Nifco is its beating heart


Wednesday's Nifco advert


Business on Teesside has NOT died - in fact it is in rude good health.


Yesterday’s Gazette featured an advert stating that jobs for women were available on ‘Teessdie’ at manufacturing business Nifco UK.


Today, we are delighted to confirm that Teesside is not dead – far from it, in fact.


The region's economy is alive and well - and at the beating heart of it is Nifco.


The company plans to create more jobs for men and women in the area over the years to come.


Nifco hopes to be a £75 million company by 2016 - and is increasing its head count year on year.


That's why the advert should have read that the Stockton-based firm was Engineering jobs for women on Teesside.

Bob Cuffe, managing director of Gazette Media Company, said: “Occasionally, errors slip through the net and the use of ‘Teessdie’ was just that.


"Apologies to readers for this – business in our area is very much alive and kicking and we will always champion it!”


Mike Matthews, managing director and European operations officer at Nifco UK, said the firm had see some fun-poking on Twitter about the error.


"We would like to make sure people know all is good and well," he added.


"And anyone looking to join a company that is very much alive, well and growing should visit our website to find out more about us.”
