Growing County Durham Business Opens New Rookhope Office

County Durham wastewater specialist RA Dalton has relocated members of its finance and accounts team to a new office at Unit 1, Rookhope Business Centre.

The move sees Accounts Manager Katie Jackson and her colleagues take up residence in the dedicated office space as the family-run company continues to expand its workforce and nationwide operations.

The Rookhope premises provide valuable additional space for the growing department while keeping the team in the heart of Weardale, close to RA Dalton’s Cowshill head office.

From a local family business to a national employer

Founded in 2003, RA Dalton has grown from a small local family business into a nationwide employer with more than 100 staff across the UK.

The company supplies, installs, services and maintains sewage treatment plants, septic tanks, pump stations and other off-mains drainage systems, working with homeowners, businesses, developers and organisations throughout the UK; providing support at every stage of the wastewater process.

Supporting a growing nationwide business

RA Dalton’s finance and accounts team play a vital role in supporting the company’s day-to-day activities across the UK. As the company has grown, so too has the volume and complexity of the work carried out behind the scenes. 

The new office creates a dedicated working environment for the team. Colleagues can collaborate closely and continue to deliver an efficient service to customers, suppliers and other departments across the business.

The finance department continues to grow from strength to strength. RA Dalton recently recruited a new Accounts Receivable Coordinator, who joins the team at its new Rookhope base. This latest appointment is another key part of the company’s wider strategy to strengthen its internal operations and ensure it has the people and systems that support continued development.

Continued investment in Weardale

While RA Dalton now works with domestic and commercial customers across the UK, the company has retained strong links to Weardale. The decision to establish the finance team in Rookhope allows the business to create additional space without moving this important function away from the local area.

The new office demonstrates RA Dalton’s continued commitment to County Durham and the rural communities surrounding its original Cowshill headquarters, while bringing new professional employment opportunities to rural County Durham. This will help people build their careers without needing to travel to one of the region’s larger towns or cities.

RA Dalton has continued to invest in its people, premises, equipment and services as demand has increased. The new Rookhope office is the latest stage in that growth: providing Katie and the wider team space to support the business as it moves forward.

The finance team’s new address is Unit 1, Rookhope Business Centre, Rookhope, Bishop Auckland, County Durham, DL13 2DA.
