Severfield has been awarded the steel package tender for the new Everton’s Bramley-Moore stadium. The enabling works were earlier started in July by the main contractor Laing O’Rourker for the £500m stadium. Severfield revealed their win in an upbeat trading statement to the City. The officials said: “The UK and Europe order book at 1 September consist of a vital amount of new work which we have acquired over the last months and now standing at a new record level of £376m (1 June 2021: £301m), of which £291m is to be delivered over the next 12 months. This gives the Group a good position with a strong future workload for the remaining part of the 2022 financial year and beyond.
The growth in the order book has been driven by several significant project wins including the new Everton’s Bramley-Moore stadium, two large and other smaller distribution facilities in the UK, indicating the sector is stilk remaining buoyant, new HS2 bridge tenders and other bridge awards indicating investment in infrastructure by Highways England and Network Rail. The company is encouraged by the current level of tendering and pipeline activities. Severfield remain well-positioned to take advantage of further significant opportunities, including in the industrial and distribution, transport infrastructure, commercial office (including in London), nuclear and data centre sectors, offering extra resilience and the ability to deliver future profitable growth.
