EIGHT companies have agreed to move into a £2.35m business centre.

Two more are close to agreeing to take units at the Springboard centre, in Stokesley Industrial Park, North Yorkshire.

Springboard helps new and developing companies that have the potential for high growth, providing businesses with support for three years.

Manager, Carol Campbell said: "We are looking for the entrepreneurs of the future - if we can harness their talents now, we will not lose them to outlying city areas."
