Newcastle upon Tyne has an industrial base spread along the Tyne and around the A1 Western Bypass. Offshore, subsea and marine engineering firms are on the riverside at Walker and at Newburn, with fabrication, machining and test facilities in support. Construction, plant hire, printing, food production and distribution businesses fill the rest. Main industrial areas include Newburn Riverside, Walker Riverside, Airport Industrial Estate at Kingston Park and Benton Square. Team Valley in Gateshead is across the river and is used by many Newcastle firms.
The A1 Western Bypass runs down the west side of the city. The A19 passes to the east through the Tyne Tunnel, and the A69 heads west to Carlisle. Newcastle Central is on the East Coast Main Line. The Port of Tyne handles project cargo and vehicles. Most estates have good access for low loaders, although the older riverside roads at Walker are narrow in places.

Guides and questions
- Auction or private treaty: which route to choose
Auction gives you a fixed date and an open market. Private treaty gives you a negotiated price and privacy. This guide sets out when each route suits, what you give up with each, and why many sales use both.
- What insolvency practitioners need from an auctioneer
For office holders realising physical assets. Covers the instruction letter, the asset schedule and valuation basis, retention of title, finance and HPI checks, site security, health and safety during the sale, and the reconciliation you need for the file.
- What happens to unsold lots
Not every lot sells, but the site still has to be cleared. This guide covers why lots go unsold, private treaty after the sale, lowering or removing the reserve, a later sale, scrap and WEEE recycling, and what disposal costs.
- How long does a retirement sale take?
- What if the sale does not cover the clearance cost?
- What if the stock is branded?
