Billington Holdings secures six new contracts with combined value of around £90m

The group has achieved its largest order book to date, which it said was “materially ahead” of the previous record set in the first quarter of 2023.

In a statement, the group said: “The contract wins span a variety of sectors including power generation, manufacturing and retail logistics, and will be delivered nationally over the next 24 months.”

Mark Smith, Chief Executive Officer of Billington, commented:

"The award of these significant contracts is great news for Billington. They are a testament to our group offering in a challenging trading environment and demonstrates that Billington is a steelwork contractor of choice.

"The group currently has a record orderbook and these contracts provide further confidence that Billington will continue to perform well in 2024 and into 2025, further underpinning current market expectations.

"I look forward to providing further updates at the time of the release of the group's results for the year ended December 31 2023 in April 2024."

Earlier this week, Billington Structures joined forces with the British Constructional Steelwork Association (BCSA) to launch a manifesto to UK politicians at an event in the House of Lords.

Representatives including BCSA President, Gary Simmons and BCSA CEO, Dr David Moore urged politicians to take steps to protect and grow the industry in the future.

Mr Smith, who also attended the manifesto launch, said: “The steelwork industry is fundamental to the UK’s economic prosperity. Emphasising its significance to policymakers, businesses, and stakeholders, the UK Government must continue to support and invest in the sustainable growth and competitiveness of the UK’s steelwork industry to secure a prosperous future for generations to come.”
