The firm, which has 110 staff at the 5,000 sqm site, is hoping to bring a further 60 jobs to the area following the opening.

The Duchess of Northumberland (pictured) opened the site yesterday (27 March) by unveiling a commemorative plaque at the Atlas House premises in Nelson Park, Cramlington.

Potts chairman and chief executive Michael Stuart-Couch said: “The company has a long and varied history and this marks a new chapter in its development.

“We have ambitious growth plans in place and I am sure that the move to this site in Cramlington will benefit all concerned in the future.”

Potts provides commercial print, direct marketing and bespoke carton packaging to blue-chip clients in the UK and overseas.
