North East England, Connected for Business

Founded in 1979 and located in Washington, Sunderland, Datawright deploy Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software around the globe. Even with this global presence, for over thirty years Datawright’s headquarters have been situated at its long established roots in Tyne and Wear in the North East of England.

Our region possesses a long history of engineering excellence in advanced manufacturing and makes an ideal location for businesses involved in its supply chain. Since 1993 the North East has seen the highest increase in employment of all the English regions and enjoys strong domestic orders achieving consistent growth in output.

As you would imagine a large section of our ERP software customers are based in our region, often gained from word of mouth and our local networks. We believe in working together to promote our region and as active ambassadors can therefore hopefully contribute to its future growth and success.

North East England is a superb place to live and work and is as a dynamic, influential centre for innovation and business success. Over the past decade North East England’s towns and cities have been regenerated, new jobs have been created in knowledge-intensive new industries and the region has developed a renewed confidence in itself and its abilities.
