Tyne and Wear is formally a metropolitan county in the north-east of England. It is split into five boroughs consisting of Newcastle upon Tyne, Sunderland, Gateshead, and North and South Tyneside.
These historical industrial areas, once famed for Coal Production, Ship Building and Heavy Industry, have now begun the transition into the Service Economy - with industries such as Construction, Banking, Manufacturing, and Health Care all on the rise. Engineering services are also prevalent, as are Software Development and Public Sector work. This type of work can often be obtained through recruitment agencies.
There is significant regeneration activity currently taking place in Tyne and Wear, intended to increase appeal to outside investment. Local universities also play a part in this.
