Recruitment Agencies based in County Durham, North East, UK
During the 18th and 19th centuries, County Durham played a key role in the Industrial Revolution, becoming a cornerstone of coal and iron production, developing the worlds first passenger steam railway at Darlington as well as becoming an agricultural heartland in England's north-east.

The area has over 15,000 businesses, with around 170,000 total employees. Overall, the annual value of County Durham's economic output is around £6.3bn.
