SCOTT Bros has responded to a recent surge in demand by lockdown DIY-ers for decorative chippings.
The family-run firm – more used to providing recycled aggregates for major construction projects – is now supplying a growing number of domestic customers with a traditional 20mm white Cotswold stone as well as 20mm black basalt chippings.
Company director Peter Scott was so impressed that he himself has even used the chippings to construct an attractive outdoor area at Thornaby Sports & Leisure Club, which he also runs.
He said: “The club reopened at the weekend and having an additional outdoor area where customers could gather while safely social distancing was fantastic, and the basalt chippings helped set the whole thing off.”
