Jones Bros Civil Engineering UK has successfully renewed its position as the sole contractor with one of the United Kingdom’s leading resource and waste management companies. This contract, initially solidified in 2022, enables Jones Bros to persist with its proficient handling of landfill engineering tasks on behalf of FCC Environment. Notably, the partnership between the two companies, which commenced in 2011, has now been extended by a further two years, highlighting the strong relationship that has been cultivated over the past decade.
Dafydd Elis, a senior contracts manager who will have supervised this partnership’s entirety upon completion of the extension, stated that the continued exclusivity underscores the profound trust and high-quality outcomes delivered by Jones Bros over more than 20 years. The collaboration began with waste management activities in the southwest of England and has since expanded across the UK, reaching the northeast and Scotland. A key factor in this success is Jones Bros’ comprehensive in-house plant fleet, which ensures project completion unaffected by external supply shortages or cost fluctuations.
Currently, Jones Bros is engaged in pivotal projects such as constructing a new containment cell at Greengairs in Airdrie and executing a water vole mitigation scheme in Immingham. These ventures exemplify the broad scope of Jones Bros’ work, which predominantly involves heavy earthworks and site capping, further solidifying their integral role in FCC projects. Importantly, over the past two years, the company has facilitated more than 575,000 square metres of land restoration, including woodland and grassland initiatives, with an additional 400,000 square metres projected during the extension period.
According to Anthony Porter, FCC’s senior engineering and restoration manager, Jones Bros has collaborated closely with FCC to minimise the ecological impact of construction activities, ensuring operations adhere to environmental licences and standards, such as the great crested newt licence. This approach not only demonstrates a commitment to environmental sustainability but also aligns with contemporary industry standards, reinforcing both organisations’ reputations as leaders in sustainable waste management practices.
The renewed contract reinforces Jones Bros’ pivotal role in sustainable waste management across the UK.
