With their HQ in Portsmouth and satellite offices in and beyond the county, the new office up in Durham will serve as a centre for customer service and sales.

The move was motivated by a strong local skill base in the region, with toob now keen to drive recruitment for the new site.

Mayor Ben HouchenMayor Houchen added: “Improved digital infrastructure is crucial to unlocking the full potential of businesses across Teesside, Darlington and Hartlepool.

“So I’m delighted toob have chosen our region to create new jobs in the rollout of high-speed broadband through their latest expansion.
