WELCOME TO
ARMSTRONG WORKS

Join us across this site as we explore and celebrate Armstrong Works’ contribution to engineering and manufacturing excellence in the North East.

ABOUT US:

Pearson Engineering, together with our wholly owned subsidiary, Responsive Engineering, are today’s proud guardians of Armstrong Works with extensive plans to further the site as a centre of engineering and as a force for good in the community.

The site has an impressive history and legacy dating back to 1847 when William George Armstrong founded Elswick Works. By the early 1950s, the site covered over 70 acres of land and stretched over a mile along the river Tyne.

Today, Armstrong Works is home to two businesses with global reach, working across defence, security, energy and rail, with significant levels of new investment and ongoing recruitment to attract the next generation of talent into engineering and manufacturing.
