Northumberland Estates is a privately owned family business which represents the business interests of the Duke of Northumberland and the Percy family. Centuries of history provide the foundations of an organisation which invests for the long term. The methods by which this is achieved may have evolved and changed over the decades, but the remit remains the same – to create an income stream to enable the business to continue to preserve and enhance its many heritage assets, create jobs and continue as a major contributor to the local economy here in the North East.
