Galliford Try has continued its drive to build its Fabrications business, as part of the Group’s Sustainable Growth Strategy, with investment in a manufacturing facility in Keighley, West Yorkshire.
The 18,000 sq ft facility will extend Galliford Try Fabrications’ geographical reach and production capacity across access metalwork structures including platforms, stairways, and gantries, while enabling the business to expand into the adjacent market of coated, fabricated and stainless steel pipework.
The new facility strengthens Galliford Try’s ability to support both internal businesses and established external clients across the construction industry, including water and wastewater companies undertaking the renewal of vital infrastructure throughout the AMP8 cycle.
As well as increasing operational capability, the investment represents a commitment to the local community and economy in Keighley and the surrounding area, creating employment opportunities for local skilled labour, and supporting the use of locally sourced equipment and services.
The acquisition of the new site follows closely from the opening of Fabrications’ second facility in Paisley, Glasgow, and builds on its longstanding base in Huthwaite, Nottinghamshire, demonstrating the Group’s commitment to organic growth through investment.
Craig Smith, Operations Director for Galliford Try Fabrications, commented: “We are delighted to have secured this additional facility which complements our existing business and provides an excellent platform for expansion into adjacent markets. Our growing in-house capability to design, manufacture and install packaged metalwork and pipework solutions places us in a strong position to support our customers at a time when demand is increasing during the water sector’s AMP8 period and beyond.
“We are also pleased that this investment allows us to contribute positively to the local economy in West Yorkshire through the creation of jobs and engagement with local suppliers, while continuing to work with our clients to meet their needs.”
