OUTER

& CORNWALL
JOBS TAKE
RAISCO THE
LENGTH &
BREADTH
OF BRITAIN
Contract wins in the Outer Hebrides and Cornwall are helping a Newton Aycliffe
construction firm to continue its impressive growth…
Raisco, based on Aycliffe Business Park, hit
their target of a £7.5m turnover at the end of
March after winning work to build new stores
for European retailer Lidl earlier this year.
Now the steel business is expanding with
contract wins at locations literally spanning
the length and breadth of Great Britain - with
one job in Cornwall and another 780 miles
away in the Scottish Isles.
Raisco is currently working on five jobs,
totalling more than £700,000, at Bude in the
South West, Taunton in Somerset, Sterling
in Scotland and North Uist in the Outer
Hebrides, as well as another contract a bit
nearer to home in Newcastle.
The Outer Hebrides job is a 135-tonne
project building a new school for Robertson
Construction, which has been made doubly
difficult because of ferry strikes limiting their
crossing from mainland Scotland.
Raisco is also working on a steelwork
project for main contractors Wright Morgan,
building new Lidl stores in Taunton (85
tonnes) and Bude, Cornwall (70 tonnes).
