It will also carry out general high level repairs and lightning protection installation at the Swan Sports Centre.
 
The new deals are worth in the region of £40,000 to Stone, which now employs 24 people and plans to continually grow its workforce throughout 2009 as well as increase its £2 million turnover by 25%.
