How to get from Bremen to Newcastle? We just took
a Ryanair flight to Edinburgh and rented a car. After a two hours driving
trough a very nice landscape we landed in Ouseburn one of the creative districts
of Newcastle the city along the Tyne river. Ouseburn in the past was an
industrial harbour area and has been in
the past ten years, more and more discovered
by artists and other
creative people. Today a lot of galleries, workshops and creative offices are
located here. One example is the Toffee Factory a building that was recreated
from a ruin into one of the most modern
office buildings in the city:
offices for 4 to 25 people, located directly at the waterside, biomass heating,
a roof top terrace etc. The creative hub scooped a series of awards like the Project of the Year title at the North East RICS
Renaissance Awards 2012.
One of the creative companies located at the
Toffee Factory is Keltie Cochrane - doing all around advertising, design and
marketing. We talked to Jason Cochrane one of the company founders about creative
business in Newcastle and the importance of the surrounding for creating new
ideas. It seems to be magic about the Toffee Factory: “Since we moved here our
business is even running better” says Jason Cochrane.
