The Newcastle Youth Enterprise Centre moved from its old home at 25 Low Friar Street to its new home in The Old Post Office at 3-5 Pink Lane in March 1998.

The premises have three main components:

  • Three telecottages - one bedroom apartments with associated offices.
  • Nine small offices for starter businesses, starting in price from under £40 fully inclusive, on an easy-in, easy-out basis incuding shared facilites and access to the Big Netty network.
  • A modern training facility in the basement.
