Type of Project:

Existing site within Northumbria's Wynne-Jones Building, on the University's City Campus West site.

Start/End Date:

Roger Candy and Graham Baty began working full-time on enterprise activities within Northumbria University in April 2004.

They established The Hatchery in April 2004.

The Hatchery was originally based in a portakabin on the University's City Campus West. These premises were not ideal due to a number of issues including lack of security and temperature control.

In September 2008, The Hatchery was moved to a more permanent residence in the Wynne-Jones Building on City Campus West.

The space is wireless enabled with PCs and telephones provided for client businesses.

How does the technology add value?

Communication and networking, enabling businesses to become more widely known. Allows prospective tenants to take 'virtual' residency.
