“ It ’ s a cracking set up down Moore Lane and we enjoy going to the game – and we ’ re proud to be one of the club ’ s sponsors this season .”
Away from Aycliffe , SE Landscaping has won a string of both private and public sector contracts across the North-East region – working as far South as York and as North as Cramlington .
But it ’ s the company ’ s work with local authorities which has been its bread-andbutter – and set it on the road to success . SE Landscaping picks up work from Durham County Council – which represents about 25 % of its annual turnover – while it also works for Evenwood and Gainford parish councils , and its biggest contract win to date was a £ 350,000 six-year deal with Chilton Town Council .
The firm ’ s work in Chilton has won awards , while SE ’ s cemetery at Chilton has picked up two gold medals from Northumbria in Bloom .
