Our markets Highways, Infrastructure and RailExciting new major road building and improvement projects are taking place or being planned for the future throughout the UK, linking up our regions and supporting economic growth.
OUTSTANDING SERVICE AND PRODUCTSAs new developments continue to gather momentum across the UK, contractors are looking for ways to recoup time and money. We can assist in these developments by using our skills in improving site efficiencies. Our mission is to take industry and client issues and tackle them, producing products that solve problems, improve standards and lead the industry in product life. As an example, we’re incredibly proud of our Unite range of manhole covers and gully grates, and of its pioneering design, which has 350,000 installations with 0 reported failures. Combined with a range of compliant products and systems, partnering with the Wrekin contract division saves time and money while enhancing health and safety.

Success storiesJunction 9 improvements for the M27Following a consultation process, we secured the opportunity to supply Unite manhole covers and ironwork installation systems for a major infrastructure project within the county. Highways England has committed to funding a £23m infrastructure project, which will improve the M27 and benefit motorists for years to come. It is no secret that peak-time traffic on the M27 – a critical strategic corridor in south Hampshire – creates queues and congestion at Junction 9, which often extends to the motorway. However, the plan includes widening the carriageway to improve traffic flow and reduce journey times in the area, with work due to complete in summer 2022.
Building sustainability into everything we doSustainability is changing the way infrastructure is designed, specified and delivered across the UK. At Wrekin, our role is to support safer, stronger and longer-lasting infrastructure while reducing environmental impact wherever we can, and influencing positive change where the biggest impacts sit beyond our direct control. Our sustainability report sets out how sustainability is being embedded into our strategy, operations and value chain, not treated as a standalone initiative. Our approach focuses on the areas that matter most to our business, our people and our customers: achieving Net Zero, supporting and developing our people, working in partnership across our value chain, and strengthening responsible sourcing. It also explains how our priorities have been shaped by a materiality assessment, helping us focus on practical action rather than broad ambition. From health, safety and wellbeing to product quality, energy use, emissions reduction and ethical business practices. A key part of our approach is understanding where our impact really occurs. Our verified carbon footprint shows that collaboration with suppliers, logistics partners and customers is central to our Net Zero roadmap. Alongside this, we are progressing priorities including renewable electricity, on-site solar generation, transport optimisation, improved waste management, and greater product transparency through Environmental Product Declarations across our ductile ironwork range. Sustainability at Wrekin is also about building products, partnerships and workplaces that are fit for the long term. From durable infrastructure solutions and recycled content in our iron products, to Carbon Literacy training and our 'The Sea Starts Here' initiative.
