. Remember this announcement by Houchen regarding the new Solar Park that SSE was building.......Energy giant SSE Energy Solutions has launched an office base at Teesside International Airport as part of the company’s ambitious growth plans for the region.
The FTSE 100 company has signed a lease for a unit in the airport terminal, with staff now working from the location.
The agreement follows an announcement last month that SSE is to deliver a major solar power project at Teesside International Airport.
The new office is part of a wider recruitment expansion across the Tees Valley by the company, providing opportunities and skills for workers from across the region.
The new office will initially provide a base for up to 15 employees with a plan to grow to double that figure within two years.
Nehal Mehta, Director of Regions and Social Value with SSE Energy Solutions, said: “As part of our ongoing commitment to the region we are opening an office hub at Teesside International Airport to help recruitment in green jobs and bring in local talent from a diverse range of background

Well turns out that's a deliberate falsehood
As it has not featured in any of houchen's big election build up, I asked SSE, and this was their answer

Sorry, SSE does not have an office at the airport. It is the airport who are developing the project so any employment opportunities would run through them.Good luck,Pieter
One wonders.
