Grounds maintenance provider Tivoli is set to create 20 new jobs after opening a new regional hub for the North East.
Tivoli has invested in a new 9,062 sq ft hub at Boldon Business Park as its regional division sees significant growth. The firm, which has 1,200 employees across the UK, has delivered services for the public and private sectors, including clients such as the NHS, Ministry of Defence, local authorities and blue-chip corporates, for more than 30 years.
Recent years have seen the business seal a number of new contracts in the North East, triggering the strategic decision to invest in the region. The base, home to 50 employees, will be used as an operational depot for the group’s local grounds maintenance teams – and it will also support its annual spring recruitment drive which will see it create 20 seasonal jobs based from the new depot next year.

Darren Mulligan, regional director at Tivoli Group, said: “The new depot at Boldon is in a convenient location and will support our current and any new contract service delivery in the area. We are proud that our teams based at the depot all live locally, and we are keen to continue to employ locally for our seasonal staff too. Over the next 12-18 months, we see it becoming our regional hub for the North East and we have really ambitious growth targets to continue growing this region of the business as we look to the future.”
The move by Tivoli follows a significant investment in recent years into Boldon Business Park by its owner UK Land Estates. Since reacquiring the estate in March 2023, the property investor and developer has committed to investing millions of pounds into futureproofing the estate to attract more businesses to the region.
David Gibbs, commercial director at UK Land Estates, added: “We are delighted to welcome Tivoli to Boldon Business Park. It’s a fantastic, independently-owned business which has shown a real desire to invest in the region and create jobs for local people. It’s been a pleasure working with them on this deal and we’d like to wish them all the best as they look to continue investing and growing their presence in the North East.
“Since reacquiring the site back in March, together with our purchase of Didcot Way in 2020, we’ve set aside millions of pounds to ensure the estates and its units continue to meet the needs of tomorrow’s businesses and attracting a company of Tivoli’s stature is a perfect example of how we are ensuring it continues to do just that.”
