MukAway signs Westbourne Civil Engineering as platform continues its run of major contractor wins
MukAway, the materials management platform from MA EnviroTech Group, has signed Westbourne Civil Engineering to the platform, adding one of the north of England's largest groundworks and civils contractors to its growing network.
The agreement brings Westbourne's sites across the north of England onto MukAway, giving the contractor a single digital platform for managing surplus material, sourcing fill, booking haulage and generating compliance and carbon data on every movement.
Westbourne Civil Engineering is a familiar name in construction having worked with every national housebuilder and developer in the country. It delivers groundworks and foundations, roads and sewers, highways and hard landscaping for the UK's biggest construction companies with recent schemes including Riverpark Road, Manchester (498 Homes), Fox Wood Garden Village in Knowsley (350 homes) and Half Penny Meadows (426 homes) in Clitheroe, Lancashire.
The signing follows MukAway's three-year, group-wide deal with GRAHAM GROUP, and continues a period of rapid growth that has seen MukAway pass 1,000 sites and 100 companies across the UK and Ireland, with 1.4 million cubic metres of material now available on the platform.
For a contractor whose work is dominated by roads, sewers and plot groundworks, the volumes of material moved on every scheme are both significant and substantial for a business like Westbourne.
MukAway's ability to match that surplus locally, arrange the haulage through the UK's first direct haulage link, and hold the Duty of Care and Material Management Plan records for ten years was central to the decision.
Scott Holland, Managing Director, Westbourne Civil Engineering, said:
"It’s great to be involved with an innovative platform such as MukAway. Muck management historically has been seen as dark art, however with the opportunity for transparency and the digitalisation of material management that the Mukaway platform now provides, I'm hopeful that this will not only improve our business in relation to cost cutting, sustainability and deliverability, but for the industry as a whole."
Fraser Linaker, CEO, MA EnviroTech Group, said:
"Westbourne is a well-run and established civil engineering business that has stood the test of time. It’s a company that the MukAway platform was built for. I know the quality they produce, having worked with them in the past. They move serious volumes of material every week. When a business like that looks at the system and signs the same day, it tells you the platform is doing what it says.
"Every contractor that joins adds material and demand to the network for everyone else on it. Westbourne's sites across the north of England will open up new matches for the housebuilders, civils firms and hauliers already on the platform, and that's how the whole thing gets stronger. We're delighted to have them on board."
