Trudie McCormick, North East Region managing director at Southdale, said: “These new contracts show continued growth for Southdale in the North East, following more than £10m of work started in the final quarter of 2013.

“The great thing for the region is that the overwhelming majority of the work will go into the regional supply chain and we will be working to recruit one apprentice for every million pounds of contract work

“This represents a very strong start to 2014 and we are looking forward to an excellent year as we continue to grow our presence in the North East.”
