AURA Infection Control, the UK and Ireland’s leading supplier of infection control products and services to the dental market has relocated to a new, specially adapted facility at Faverdale Industrial Estate, Darlington. The move marks an exciting new chapter for the company as it continues to expand its operations.
The new premises feature a consolidated warehouse facility and grade A office space, enabling Aura Infection Control to expand its operations and support its growing team. Faverdale Industrial Estate’s strategic location, with excellent transport links, helps position Darlington as a key distribution hub for the entire UK, ensuring faster and more efficient service for the company’s clients.
Aura’s managing director, Laura Edgar said: “Our move to Faverdale Industrial Estate is a significant milestone for Aura Infection Control. This new facility gives us the space to grow and enhance the services we offer to our customers. We’re committed to making Darlington our long-term home and look forward to creating new opportunities for local talent as we fill exciting roles in our team.”
Aura Infection Control has built a reputation not only as a market leader in infection control but also as a great employer, committed to supporting its staff and investing in their development. The company is actively recruiting for a range of new roles, offering an opportunity to be part of a dynamic team at the forefront of infection prevention in the dental industry.
Stephen Harker, leader of Darlington Borough Council, said: “I think it’s fantastic news and what it demonstrates is that yet another business has chosen to locate to Darlington. Darlington has lots to offer businesses. It’s a great location in terms of transport and communications. Darlington is a great place to live and work. In Aura’s case we were able to offer what they needed which was increased warehouse and office space.”
At the opening event, we asked Chris McEwan, deputy leader and cabinet member for economy, what the most interesting thing he had discovered about Aura.
“There are actually two things. One is its national reach and potential for growth, but more importantly, I was struck by its approach to recruitment, retention and staff. The management team really see their colleagues as significant assets to the sustainability of the business.”
He added: “This move underscores Darlington’s appeal as a growing economic hub. Aura Infection Control’s investment in our borough is a testament to our thriving business environment and creates valuable job opportunities for residents. We look forward to seeing their continued success.”
With this new facility, Aura Infection Control is well-placed to maintain its leadership in the infection control industry, supporting dental professionals across the UK and Ireland.
