Supply Chain

Connecting Tees Valley businesses to supply chain opportunities.

 Mobile

Tees Valley Supply Chain can help link your business with the diverse range of exciting activity within regional, national, and global supply chains, including service and product opportunities.

Access to Wider Supply Chain Opportunities

A supply chain is a complex network of businesses and resources that are all involved in the production and delivery of a product or service, which includes suppliers, service providers, consultants, manufacturers, warehouses & logistics, distribution centres, retailers and many others.

By signing up to Tees Valley Supply Chain, you will gain access to engagement events with regional stakeholders, service providers, industry bodies, and crucially those larger businesses (OEM’s and Tier 1’s), who want to work with suppliers in the Tees Valley.

Our team of specialist advisors will help connect you to new and existing supply chain opportunities, enabling you to diversify your service and product offering to help you grow your business. We can also help foster collaboration with local support networks, sector and trade organisations, as well as wider UK infrastructure projects. This connected approach will provide you with sector intelligence, services and resources to help you accelerate your supply chain growth.

If you want to develop your Supply Chain knowledge and readiness, support is available to help you identify opportunities, overcome challenges and prepare your business to take advantage of these.

One-to-One Support

Get personalised support from our experienced team of advisors and specialist external consultancy providers to address your specific supply chain challenges and opportunities, helping your business thrive in a competitive marketplace.

From start-ups to those looking to scale, this programme will help you overcome challenges preventing you from becoming more productive & resilient, winning new work, and developing new services and products for new and existing markets.
