Richard Tice - A correction

Richard Tice - A correction

In an article titled “British Steel closed North East site after rent hike threat from Richard Tice's company” published on 12 April 2025, we stated that the Darlington site closed after Mr Tice’s firm threatened to increase rent for the site.


We would like to clarify that British Steel had announced the relocation of operations from that site to Skinningrove in 2021, before the firm became the landlord at Darlington.

We apologise for the confusion and are happy to set the record straight.
