Industrial cybersecurity leader Tekgem has expanded its office space at the North East Technology Park (NETPark) to support its ongoing growth and commitment to developing new talent.
The move comes as the County Durham firm welcomes its third cohort of apprentices, with 12 recruits joining their ranks. This expansion, doubling its current footprint on site, reflects the company’s dedication to fostering innovation and talent within the cybersecurity sector, particularly as it aims to grow its workforce fivefold by 2028.
Tekgem is based at NETPark, a premier UK science and technology park and North East England's only dedicated science park. The park benefits from state-of-the-art facilities and a collaborative environment that encourages innovation. NETPark is home to a dynamic community of businesses, researchers, and academics, offering a fertile ground for Tekgem’s ambitions. The park's recent developments, including expanding office spaces, have provided Tekgem with the infrastructure needed to scale up and enhance its apprenticeship programs.
