Bernard Povey Carpets, of Teesside, has sponsored a competition at Middlesbrough Municipal Golf Club for the 20th year in a row.

The family-owned business, which has outlets in Stockton, Portrack Lane and Hartlepool, is donating golfing equipment, crystal and silverware as prizes for the event.

Accounts manager Andrew Povey will present the prizes with the club captain at a presentation evening to be held later this month.

He said: "It's fantastic to get involved with local activities and I hope we can continue to sponsor this event and more over the next 20 years."

John Steinmetz, golf club captain, said: "I would like to thank Bernard Povey Carpets for their ongoing generosity. Middlesbrough is a prime location for any business and it is essential that we join together to attract more people to the town."
