ocated in the North East is a company that has slowly, but steadily, been building a very firm footing in the world of landscaping and sports facility contracting. For over thirty years, Cleveland Land Services (CLS), has worked tirelessly to establish itself as a formidable force in a very competitive market. Now, in 2010, it is reaching for the next step and preparing to stand up and be taken seriously as a real contender for large scale construction and maintenance contracts. February saw the delivery of both a Mastenbroek 1012D heavy-duty drainage trencher and a self propelled “Laser Grader”. The decision to invest in these impressive technical machines is a reflection of the confidence CLS now has in its abilities and its team. Founded in1968, CLS has since
expanded its operations to include landscape, civil engineering, drainage, sports feasibilities, construction and maintenance works, becoming a limited company in 1978. The company employs 68 full time staff and has a turnover in excess of £7.5m per annum. It operates on a site covering 83 acres and is currently expanding its administration facilities with the building of new offices. CLS utilises a diverse range of construction, horticultural and specialised plant and equipment. John Miller, Managing Director, is very proud of the direction the company is going in and the way they have been able to respond to changes in market and economic demands. “We have an excellent committed and motivated work force, with consistently expanding skills,
due to a continuous training programme. Our goal is not to treat our work as a numbers game, but to deliver quality work every time, always go that extra mile to ensure our reputation for high standards is at the front of every potential customer’s mind. Recommendations, repeat work from existing customers, these are the prizes which determine our success.” “Originally, we concentrated on landscape contracts which, more often than not, comprised a mixture of hard and soft elements to achieve the landscape architect’s wishes. This may include elements, such as site clearance, macadam surfacing, block paving, hard standing, drainage, play equipment installation, planting, water features and arboricultural work. We have the in- house expertise and technology to carry out comprehensive site surveys, and to provide a complete ‘design and build’ for each individual project” John enthused. “Now we have established a reputation for handling large scale sports facility construction, drainage and maintenance projects across the UK.” “Our aim is to provide as
comprehensive a service as possible. To ensure continuity during the construction and establishment of sportsfields, we have invested in the most up-to-date drainage equipment, with a further three AFT trenchers purchased this year to complement our existing whizz wheels and chain trenchers, Sheltons gravel banders, hoppers and carts, enabling us to carry out both primary and secondary drainage works. We provide all the materials and plant required to do each
