DRINKS PACKAGE
Beaumont Grounds Maintenance has
signed a three-year deal with leading
Teesside independent commercial property
surveying practice Dodds Brown.
Beaumont, based at Groat Drive on Aycliffe
Business Park, is now maintaining 11 Dodds
Brown-managed properties across the
region, including its fl agship site, Hudson
Quay, next to Middlesbrough FC’s Riverside
Stadium, which is home to Thirteen Group
and Hertel.
The Aycliffe firm has also won two new
school maintenance contracts with Thornaby
Academy and Our Lady and St Bede’s
Catholic School in Stockton.
The hat-trick of contract wins has led
Beaumont to taking on two new operational
staff, boosting employee numbers to 15.
It comes after the award-winning company,
which specialises in general grounds and
sports pitch maintenance, reported a 36%
increase in turnover earlier this year.
Managing director Alexander Lineton
said: “It’s been another exceptional year
for Beaumont Grounds Maintenance and
naturally we’re delighted to win these three
major contracts.
“Dodds Brown previously had five different
contractors looking after different sites and
they wanted to amalgamate it all into one.
“It was a competitive tender which
we won, so we’re now their grounds
maintenance provider for all their properties,
and it’s certainly a big feather in the cap for
us.”
From its offices in Middlesbrough, Dodds
Brown is the largest independent commercial
property surveying practice headquartered on
Teesside, managing a portfolio of properties
worth £70m.
Senior associate Richard Wilson said:
“We were looking for a dedicated landscape
maintenance contractor who could provide a
quality service at a competitive price and be
able to respond quickly to our needs.
“What impressed us about Beaumont was
their attention to detail and customer service
ethos.
“As a North East-based business ourselves
we were delighted to be able to place the
contract with a local company.”
Beaumont, which was named Service
Business of the Year at the annual Aycliffe
Business Park “Make Your Mark” awards
earlier this year, invested £120,000 in new
machinery during its 50th year in 2015.
It now has more than 150 sites on its
books, including a range of public and private
sector contracts as well as more than 50
schools around the North-East region.
Lineton added: “Although we’re growing
as a company, we’re still very much familyrun so we still pride ourselves on that family
ethos.
“Our clients like the fact they can call us
and speak to one of the family members.
We’re very responsive and personal and it’s
important we keep it that way.”
