Why web presence matters in County Durham
County Durham is home to over 14,000 SMEs with a business landscape dominated by construction (14.9% of businesses), professional services (14%) and trade (12.6%). The county's economy is steady and growing, employment increased by almost 9% in recent years and the number of businesses has risen by over 3,000 since 2010.
Durham City itself draws significant economic activity through the university and cathedral, tourism contributed £1.23 billion to the county's economy with 13,178 people employed in the visitor economy in 2023. Durham University's Smart and Scale programme is actively supporting local SMEs to grow through commercialisation and innovation partnerships.
Bishop Auckland is benefiting from Towns Fund investment of up to £25 million, catalysed by The Auckland Project's remarkable transformation of the town's cultural offering. Newton Aycliffe hosts Hitachi Rail's UK headquarters and manufacturing plant alongside a substantial industrial estate. Consett, Stanley and Spennymoor all have active SME communities in manufacturing, construction and services.
For County Durham businesses, the challenge is visibility. A well-built website helps you get found by customers searching in your town or across the county.
