New Regional Training Hub

Northcoders accelerates expansion plans with new Newcastle premises

Northcoders (AIM:CODE), an independent provider of training programmes for software coding, is delighted to announce that it has signed the contract for a new training hub in Newcastle in line with its national expansion strategy set out at IPO.

The new site is part of the well-known innovation hub TusPark, Barclays Eagle Labs, Newcastle. The site is smaller than the Group's existing centres to facilitate the flexibility of hybrid teaching both online and in person, with access available immediately. The launch of the hub has been brought forward due to the recent increase in demand for technology training and upskilling in the local area.

Chief Executive Officer, Chris Hill, commented: "The TusPark site is a well-regarded centre of innovation and excellence in the North of England and we are excited to be part of this new and growing community. This is exactly the kind of initiative that will ensure greater access to education and technology training in the UK whilst also demonstrating how Northcoders is able to accelerate its growth to meet local demand and is delivering on its strategy as set out at IPO."
