The people
Proud to back
our region
Middlesbrough
Football Club
Telcoss is a proud Premium Partner and official shirt sponsor of Middlesbrough Football Club — one of the region’s most recognised names in professional sport. For a Teesside business built on local roots, putting the Telcoss name on the shirt of the club at the heart of our community is a landmark moment, and one we’re immensely proud of.
It’s a partnership that reaches supporters across the North East and beyond, week in, week out — and a statement of how far the company has come since a single van in 2019.
Redcar Athletic FC
Telcoss also sponsors Redcar Athletic, the Northern League club that has since won promotion to the Northern Premier League for the first time in its history, with the Telcoss logo on the home and away kits. The tie runs deep — the Southall family have been involved since the 1990s, when the club was Teesside Athletic, Lewis and Ethan as players and Tom as a coach.
“This is more than just a sponsorship — it’s a partnership rooted in shared values and local pride.”Tom Southall, Managing Director
Responsible

Repurpose and recycle wherever possible — no landfill.
Waste is sorted and recovered wherever it can be, with reuse and recycling favoured over disposal. We hold ISO 14001 accreditation and manage waste responsibly to maintain a safe and sustainable working environment.
“Telcoss are an exceptionally reliable and professional company. They consistently go above and beyond to deliver outstanding results, making them a highly trusted”Mark Kasper · Enva
