Hello, we're Marchday, a refreshingly different property company.
We're a team who dare to dream, who work in our own developments, who love design, architecture and art as much as we love doing deals and providing exceptional customer service. That may sound a little eccentric but that’s alright – we aim to be different, do things better and be more involved than most other property companies.
We take the time and trouble to be a little more thoughtful, interested and available to our customers and partners. We get a lot back by putting more in. Our schemes are successful and our customers are happy and that creates a landscape that’s a joy to work in.
Our developments tend to be large in scale and our vision for what’s possible, in regenerative terms, is equally bold. We keep on trying to do things better, greener and happier. It feels good and does good too. We hope you enjoy our site.
Spring has finally arrived – and just in time too as Marchday launch our new events calendar at Lingfield Point.
Packed with events, promotions and social shindigs – it’s a great way of getting to know your colleagues, learning new skills or getting to know our neighbourhood a wee bit better.
We’re proud to be welcome Teesside University as our higher education partner who have programmed a whole range of events helping you to expand your horizons – adding to existing skills or even tasting something new and more creative. Look out for the digital photography class or the creative writing class to get inspired this Spring.
We’re also welcoming back our happy fit camps – getting fit with a giggle has never been funnier and our new Stash Busting Surgeries from our artist in residence – Becky Sunter from Tabby Textiles – is bound to be a sure-fire hit. She’ll be showing us how to make your clutter into classic gifts with a bit of inspiration. So get spring cleaning – clear out your craft clutter – and let’s get out there and have some fun!
For more information on these events, feel free to log onto the events section of www.lingfieldlife.co.uk or follow us on facebook at lingfieldpoint – a great way of keeping in touch and getting involved.
Lingfield Point, owned by Marchday, is proud to provide creative office space to some of the most significant companies in the North East. Our most recent customer to join our ever-increasing list of companies is AMEC – the international engineering and project management company – who enjoys its 30th birthday this year.
To celebrate this milestone, AMEC Chief Executive Samir Brikho was joined at the London Stock Exchange by 30 AMEC employees, all of whom have been with the company since its formation. The group included Kevin Catterick – senior project manager – who took some of the responsibility for the 500+ staff move from Yarm Road offices to the prestigious Meadow space at Lingfield Point.
Celebrating this achievement follows on from news of a recruitment drive to employ an additional 40 skilled staff as part of a strategy to make its North East base at Lingfield Point. Lingfield Point is set to become a centre of global engineering operations for AMEC.

Nicola Mason, operations director for AMEC in Darlington said: “This is really good news for Darlington. The skills and experience of our workforce has helped us beat some very tough competition to win a number of new contracts and we’re delighted to bring new jobs to the town.”
We have settled in well at Lingfield Point – one of the key reasons for moving here was that we would have the space to expand. The legacy of the Tees Valley engineering and chemical process industries means that this area has a lot of people with the type of skills we need so we don’t expect to have any problems finding the high calibre of staff we need.
Our colleagues based within AMEC should feel immensely proud of their part in this global success story – we’re proud to be associated with them and share in their achievements.
Well done AMEC from all at Marchday and Lingfield Point and we wish them well and continued development over the next 30 years!
Here at Marchday we often talk about life at Lingfield, our creative and unique office space in Darlington and the atmosphere around that neighbourhood.
But how do we achieve this? Colour plays an important part in achieving a sense of community – just look at the success of Dulux’s global community intitiative – Let’s Colour. We love the kaliedoscope of colour – you’ll see it around every corner at Lingfield Point – its a fundemental part of our art strategy but also in the way we design our offices. Colour provides a subtle statement and the beauty of colour means you can choose the statement you want to make.
The Memphis Building at Lingfield Point brings colour to the lives of those who work at Student Loans Company.
The colours used around our creative office spaces across the 107 acre business park make bold statements – we’re creative; we’re productive & most importantly we’re a community!
Fun with colour and inspirational statements add life to lingfield
Digging through the archives at Marchday Towers we recently unearthed this little gem for you to enjoy.
It is taken from a Tees Valley Unlimited film titled ‘My Tees Valley’ produced a couple of years ago. Marchday Director John Orchard had a lot of fun with Middlesbrough born TV presenter Kirsten O’Brien, showing her around Marchday’s Lingfield Point project and even racing her on the Marchday Segways!
Things don’t stand still a Lingfield Point and we’re delighted that the ‘Meadow’ office building featured in the film was occupied by International Engineering and Project Management company AMEC shortly after.
An exciting new chapter of Marchday at Lingfield Point is taking shape – a range of new homes will start appearing over the next few months thanks to our relationship with Taylor Wimpey.
‘Millfields’ – named to celebrate our historic links to Paton & Baldwins – is our next exciting step towards realising our £100million masterplan for Darlington.
Over the next 10 years, we’ll be creating homes, parkland, sports facilities as well as health facilities, shops and restaurants – a new neighbourhood with sustainability and care at its heart – not forgetting the continued development of high spec, creative business space.
In the link below, John Orchard, director of Marchday – is joined by Mark Leigh, Managing Director of Taylor Wimpey (North Yorkshire) who explains this exciting collaboration and our latest addition to our sustainable neighbourhood.
The Millfields development will include two, three and four bedroom houses in seven different styles and a range of special terms are on offer to help buyers move.
