A family run business with branches in Darlington and Newton Aycliffe, County Durham, Whitehouse covers the whole North East. John became a main sponsor for the club last season and the club wish to thank him for his continued financial support for the 2015/16 season.
John even decided to come out of playing retirement and polished his boots.
