Today, we are proud to celebrate an incredible milestone for Richard Wood (pictured left with Managing Director Lee Cowen, right), our Technical and Estimating Director, who marks 25 years with Milbank Concrete Products.

Reaching this milestone is a remarkable achievement and reflects Richard’s loyalty, dedication and immense contribution to Milbank Concrete Products. Over the years, his technical expertise, experience and leadership have helped shape both our business and the way we deliver for our customers.

Reflecting on his time with the business, Richard said:

“Having joined the company in 2001 at the age of 17, I started in the design office, drawing beam and block ground-floor layouts by hand. I then progressed onto other products and into management roles, while continuing to work on some of the most complex projects the company has been involved in. During this time, I have seen many challenges and changes, which have kept every day interesting.

These 25 years have taught me that strength does not just come from the products, but from all the people involved in the process who bring everything together.

I’d like to thank the company, my mentors, colleagues and everyone else who has been part of the past 25 years and made the experience what it has been. Here’s to the next chapter.”

Richard’s journey is a brilliant example of the careers that can be built through commitment, hard work and a willingness to keep learning and progressing.

Congratulations on 25 years, Richard, and thank you for everything you have contributed to Milbank Concrete Products. Here’s to many more years of success! 👏

We’re proud to have completed our involvement in the Clore Manor Care Home project in Hendon, Barnet, supplying 347 precast concrete columns to Marney Construction.

The columns were delivered across the project, with the final Level 4 columns completed in July. Our precast solution played an important role in helping Marney Construction accelerate their works, with the team completing their programme six weeks ahead of schedule.

A huge well done to everyone involved across design, production, transport and site support. It’s fantastic to see the hard work and collaboration across our teams making a real difference on site. 👏

We're delighted to announce that our work on the Trocoll House project has been named a finalist in the Best Use of Concrete Technology category at the Offsite Awards 2026. 👏

To be recognised alongside businesses such as Kier Group and Laing O'Rourke is something we're incredibly proud of. It's a real testament to the hard work, technical expertise and teamwork that went into delivering this project.

A huge thank you to everyone involved, and to our client and project partners for helping make it such a success.

We'll find out the results in September, but for now we're just proud to be among such strong company.

Last week, we welcomed 11 students to Milbank Concrete Products for a behind-the-scenes look at what a career in construction and manufacturing can offer.

From touring our site and meeting team members across different departments, to getting hands-on in the yard building their own beam and block floor section (and adding their own creative designs to the concrete blocks!), the day was packed with opportunities to learn, explore and get involved.

It was also the first time we put our new Specialist Precast Centre to use, and it proved to be the perfect space for the event.

Despite the blazing heatwave, the students kept their energy and enthusiasm high throughout the day, with plenty of brilliant questions, practical activities, pizza, chips and, of course, ice creams to help everyone cool off! ☀️🍦

A big thank you to everyone across the business who helped make the day such a success by sharing their knowledge, experiences and passion for the industry.

The fantastic feedback we've received from both the students and organisers has been brilliant to hear, and we hope the day has inspired a few future engineers, manufacturers and construction professionals.

A huge thank you to Morgan Sindall Group plc for inviting us to be part of such a valuable initiative. We're proud to support opportunities that help inspire the next generation of talent.

We're busy out in the yard this week getting everything ready to welcome 11 students from two local schools as part of the Morgan Sindall Group plc WEX initiative.

The students will spend the day with our team, taking a tour of our manufacturing facility, learning about the wide range of career opportunities available within the construction industry, and getting hands-on with our Beam & Block out in the yard. 👷‍♂️

It's a great opportunity to give young people an insight into the world of precast concrete, manufacturing and construction, while helping them explore the different career paths the industry has to offer.

We're looking forward to what should be a fun, engaging and informative day, and can't wait to meet everyone!

As a business, we're incredibly proud to have so many long serving members of our team and today, we're celebrating Scott Sowerby, who has reached an incredible 25 years with Milbank. 👏

Throughout his career, Scott has worked across our pre-stressed factory, from cutting and operating a sideloader in our yards to leading the Beam Gang in PS1 as Foreman.

Today, he remains a highly respected member of the team, providing invaluable support to our factory foremen through his extensive operational knowledge and years of experience.

Scott's commitment and contribution over the past quarter of a century have helped shape our business, and we're so grateful to have him as part of the Milbank team.

Congratulations, Scott, on this fantastic milestone and thank you for everything you continue to do.

A year on, and the progress speaks for itself 👏

This before and after drone comparison highlights just how far this care home project with Apex Contractors Limited has come since works began.

Designed as a purpose-built care home, this large and complex structure has required careful coordination throughout, particularly with its curved and angled layout. Milbank Concrete Products has supplied 150mm hollowcore planks across multiple levels, alongside T225 beam and block and four stair cores.

Collaboration has been key on this project. From working closely with engineers and architects to resolve design challenges, to adapting installation methods on site, including splitting stair units to overcome crane lifting limitations in certain areas.

A great example of how planning, flexibility, and teamwork supports the progress on complex builds.

07/06/2026

It’s all go down in the yard at Milbank.

This time-lapse captures the constant movement behind the scenes, with hollowcore units being transported, loaded and prepared for delivery to sites across Essex, London and the South East.

A great reminder that every project starts long before installation, with careful coordination, precision manufacturing and a team keeping everything moving.
