We think the Tees Valley is one of the UK’s best-kept secrets. That’s one of the reasons why we’ve created Talking Teesside – to share it with you. We celebrate the people, places and potential our little part of the world has to offer.
Created by Teesside University, Talking Teesside brings you life and style inspo, health and wellness tips, home advice and regional highlights, as well as inspiring guest blogs from alumni, staff and students.
Whether you’re a current or former student, a colleague or a member of the community, there’s something for everyone here.
Meet the team who’ll be bringing you fresh content every week.
