SE Landscaping managing director Scott Ellwood with Crafter’ s Companion finance and operations manager UK, Andrew McDonald.
“ 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.
In other areas, SE Landscaping works with Teesside-based petrochemicals giant

“ Our turnover has doubled in the last two years through natural growth,” says Ellwood.
“ What pleases us most is the awards and recognition that our work is singled out for, which we’ re very proud of.”
