A good start is half the work!

A significant milestone reached on the N5 Ballaghaderreen to Scramoge Road Project, with the official opening of Section 1 last Thursday in the presence of Minister Darragh O’Brien TD, Cathaoirleach Liam Callaghan, Chief Executive Shane Tiernan and TII CEO Lorcan O’Connor. Delivered approximately 18 months ahead of programme, this section represents 20% of the overall scheme and is already delivering real benefits for road users and the local community. This milestone reflects the dedication, expertise, and strong collaboration across the entire project team. Our thanks to everyone involved in making this possible.

We also extend our sincere appreciation to the local community for their patience and cooperation throughout construction period. With 73km of the N5 now delivered, our focused remains on delivering the remaining 27km and continuing to enhance this key national route.

The early opening of Section 1 of the N5 Ballaghaderreen to Scramoge Road Project reflects the hard work and coordinated effort across the project team. While it marks an important milestone, our focus remains firmly on the safe and successful delivery of the full scheme.

We were pleased to attend Scotland’s first Youth Guarantee Jobs Fair which took place in the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall.

Officially opened by Pat McFadden, Secretary of State for the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). With around 2,500 young people aged 16–24 in attendance, the event brought together over 60 employers and training organisations, all focused on supporting the next generation into employment.

Ours Aislinn Watters and Angela Newlands were on hand to share information on our current vacancies and speak with attendees about the wide range of roles and career pathways available within the construction industry. A great opportunity to engage with future talent and highlight the many routes into our sector!

Our team put the “T” in STEM when they attended a busy community careers fair in Cumbernauld, organised by DYW LED

We were delighted to bring along the Tenstar plant simulator, which proved a real hit outside Cumbernauld Shopping Centre on a rare sunny day. The simulator provides a realistic, hands on experience of operating construction plant machinery in a safe, controlled environment which gives participants a true feel for what it’s like to work as a plant operator. Inside, the team kept visitors engaged with interactive STEM activities, including our “Think Like an Estimator” challenge and hands on K’nex builds.

Events like this are a key part of our social value commitment, supporting local communities, raising awareness of careers in construction, and helping to build a strong future skills pipeline for the industry. Thanks to all the team and of course Gail McEwen from SPOA (Scottish Plant Owners Association) who gave us a crash course in the simulator!

This International Women’s Day, our colleagues across the business have shared their thoughts on this year’s theme: Give to Gain.

At Wills Bros, women represent 22% of our workforce, almost a quarter of our team compared with an industry average of around 14% across the construction sector (GoConstruct). While there is still progress to be made across the industry, it’s encouraging to see positive change taking place. Across our projects, engineering teams and support functions, talented women are helping to shape the work we deliver and the communities we work in every day.

We are proud of the contribution they make to our business and to the wider construction sector.

A9 Dualling: Tay Crossing to Ballinluig – it’s officially opened!

We were delighted to welcome Cabinet Secretary for Transport, Fiona Hyslop to the A9 Dualling: Tay Crossing to Ballinluig project which we are delivering on behalf of Transport Scotland.

During the visit the Cabinet Secretary met with a number of our site team to learn more about the engineering solutions being developed, alongside the environmental considerations, social value commitments, and sustainability measures that will be delivered as the project progresses. She also met with a number of locally employed team members who shared their experiences of working on the project and provided a real insight into the local area and community.

“The completion of our site offices marks an important early milestone for the project and it was a pleasure to welcome the Cabinet Secretary to site to mark the occasion. Initial site clearance works are progressing well, despite the recent challenging weather conditions and we are making good progress ahead of commencing major construction works in the next few months”

After months of construction, the new Chudleigh Road junction is now in use!

Construction of the new A379 Chudleigh Link Road began in November 2024, and we’re pleased to confirm the junction was successfully opened on 19 January 2026, marking an important milestone for the area. The new layout replaces the former junction between Chudleigh Road and the A379, completing the switch to the new road alignment. The previous route has now been permanently closed to motor vehicles, helping to improve safety and traffic flow.

“The opening of the new junction and around 400 metres of the realigned Chudleigh Road is the result of a fantastic team effort over the past year. A big thank you to our site team for reaching this milestone, and to local residents and businesses for their patience and understanding throughout the works.”
Clinton Odogun, Project Manager

The scheme has delivered:

• Approximately 390 metres of new road
• Widening of the existing A379 to support development in the area
• Significant earthworks, including around 48,000 m³ of material to form new and widened embankments
• A further 14,500 m³ of soil, treated with a binding material to strengthen ground conditions beneath the road

In addition to the works, the project delivered a tangible programme of community benefits, creating real opportunities for local people through apprenticeship, work experience opportunities, and skills development. The team also built meaningful relationships with local schools and community organisations, ensuring the scheme leaves a lasting social legacy

“We were proud to work with organisations such as the Care Leavers Covenant, supporting young people and providing opportunity, and to work directly with local primary schools through donations of plants. These are meaningful actions that help connect the project to the community it serves.”
Angela Newlands, Community Liaison Manager

While there wasn’t a formal opening event, the team felt it was important to mark the occasion recognising the collaboration behind the scheme and the wider community benefits delivered alongside the works.

Well done everyone involved!

Wills Bros Achieves PAS 2080 Verification, Cementing Commitment to Carbon Reduction

Wills Bros, a leading civil engineering contractor operating across the UK and Ireland, is proud to announce that it has achieved PAS 2080 verification status. This prestigious certification recognises the company’s robust approach to managing and reducing carbon emissions across its infrastructure projects, reinforcing its commitment to sustainable construction and climate resilience.

PAS 2080 is the globally recognised standard for carbon management in buildings and infrastructure, developed by the British Standards Institution (BSI). It provides a framework for organisations to systematically assess, manage, and reduce whole-life carbon emissions throughout the value chain. Verification to this standard demonstrates that Wills Bros is not only meeting but exceeding industry expectations in its efforts to decarbonise infrastructure delivery.

“This is a significant milestone for Wills Bros,” said Stuart Angus, Design & Sustainability Manager at Wills Bros. “Achieving PAS 2080 verification is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our teams across the UK and Ireland. It reflects our proactive approach to embedding sustainability into every stage of our projects’ lifecycle, which an increasing number of clients are expecting to see from contractors like us.”

The verification process involved a rigorous independent audit of Wills Bros’ carbon management systems, project delivery methods, and supply chain engagement. The company demonstrated a clear commitment to innovation, collaboration, and continuous improvement in reducing carbon impacts.

Jonathan Wills, Director, added: “Sustainability is at the heart of our business strategy. PAS 2080 verification not only validates our current practices but also sets a strong foundation for future growth in a low-carbon economy. We are proud to be among the early adopters in our sector and look forward to working with clients and partners to deliver greener, more resilient infrastructure.”

Wills Bros has already implemented a range of carbon reduction initiatives, including the use of low-carbon materials, digital design tools for carbon modelling, and close collaboration with supply chain partners to identify and implement carbon-saving opportunities. The company’s verification under PAS 2080 will further enhance its ability to deliver value-driven, environmentally responsible infrastructure solutions.

As the UK and Ireland continue to push towards net-zero targets, Wills Bros’ achievement positions the company as a forward-thinking leader in sustainable civil engineering. The company remains committed to driving innovation, fostering collaboration, and delivering infrastructure that meets the needs of both present and future generations.

Major Milestone Achieved

October has been a landmark month for the Naver Bridge replacement project on the A836 section of the North Coast 500 near Bettyhill, with the installation of 30 precast bridge beams now complete.  A key milestone in the project’s delivery. Each beam measures over 21 metres in length and weighs around 23 tonnes, and was lifted into place using a 500-tonne crane in two phases between earlier this month.

Alongside this engineering achievement, we were delighted to welcome a group of pupils from Farr secondary school, who visited site to learn more about bridge construction and careers in civil engineering. The 13 pupils and two teachers were greeted by Community Liaison Manager, Angela Newlands and Site Administrator, Isobel MacLeod, whose son, a former pupil of  Farr High School,  now works as a Civil Engineer. After a presentation on the bridge design and site safety, the group gathered at a safe viewing area overlooking the newly installed beams and crane before heading back to the office some refreshments, and some Wills Bros goodie bags!

Wills Bros Site Engineer, Hamza said:

It was brilliant to have the pupils on site during such an exciting phase of the project. Seeing the bridge take shape while inspiring young people to think about engineering careers really brings home the impact of what we do, both for local communities and future generations.

Read some fascinating stories from our engineering heroines below.

Merve Kale,  Engineer/Quantity Surveyor

#EngineeringHeroes

How did you become interested in engineering, and what motivated you to pursue a career in this field?

My father was a Surveyor, and as a child, growing up in Türkiye, I loved to spend time with him and was always very interested in everything he did. He used to bring some surveying equipment home after work, and I enjoyed discovering how it worked. He would show me how he used it. My two older sisters, went on to work in healthcare, but I was happier to follow in my fathers’ footsteps. When you train to be an Engineer in Türkiye, you learn everything about running and managing a project. This means that since I have been in the UK, my qualifications have allowed me to work both as a Site Engineer, and a Quantity Surveyor. I love that my work involves creating something new, which will improve  the lives of the people in the communities in which I am working.

What have you learnt whilst working in the industry that you couldn’t have learned in the classroom?

Schools and colleges may provide you with all the theory, but you only really grasp the practicalities that are involved, once you get out on a site.  You need to take the problem-solving methods you have learned and choose the safest, most economical, and most aesthetic way to apply to your project. And you can really only learn this on a site. One big change I found was suddenly being surrounded by older people (mainly men) and having to learn how to build working relationships with them. Until then I had been accustomed to being surrounded by my peers, and it was quite a culture shock. You must learn how to gain their respect, and also to give them yours. They may have been working on these sites for many years and so have a lot of experience and skills that you can learn from. I also found that the works I may have planned in the office, often need to be changed once I get on site, as the conditions, are rarely exactly how you thought they were going to be. You must learn how to adapt and problem-solve.

What is a  misconception or stereotype about women in engineering that you would like to challenge?

‘Women can’t do fieldwork – they’re not physically suited for it’ – this is a misconception. Field work involved far more than physical strength, it demands skills such as planning, attention to detail, effective communication, and analytical thinking. Women can excel in there areas and are capable of thriving in field based roles.

 Can you share an example of a project or accomplishment in your career that you are particularly proud of?

I take pride in the work delivered across all the projects I have been involved in, as well as in every project to which I have contributed meaningful value. The project I’m most proud of in this regard is the A30 project, which marked the beginning of my career in the UK with Wills Bros. It served as a significant milestone, shaping both my professional development and personal growth. As a foreigner entering a new country , even though engineering is a universal discipline, I managed to establish myself in a sector I had not previously worked in: the road industry, and all in a language that is not my mother tongue. This transition was undoubtedly challenging, yet it proved to be a valuable learning experience that enhanced both my technical and interpersonal skills. I must also acknowledge the invaluable support of my teammates, who have stood by me from day one. Their encouragement and collaboration played a crucial role in my successful integration and ongoing contributions.

Jola Brown, Geotechnical Engineer

#Engineering Heroes

How did you become interested in engineering, and what motivated you to pursue a career in this field?

‘When I was younger, I always wanted to be a doctor.  However, my grades weren’t quite up to scratch, so I decided I would look at nursing instead (At the time I believed I still wanted to work in healthcare). I was fortunate, that before going to university, a family friend helped me to gain a 6-week placement at a hospital. I soon realised that I was not cut out for a hospital career, as I could not cope with the sight of blood, and really did not enjoy the experience at all. So, I called the clearing service at Cardiff University where I was headed, explaining I had changed my mind. I was good at maths, but did not want to study pure maths, and asked what my options were. They suggested Civil Engineering. I was not even sure what it was but decided to give it a try. As it turns out, I loved it. I enjoy the problem-solving aspect of the role, and contributing to the creation of something tangible, that stays in place and is used by the general public on a  daily basis.

What have you learnt during your time at WSP that you couldn’t have learned in the classroom?

(Jola is currently working as the WSP’s representative at our Chudleigh Road Site in Exeter) – The main thing I have learned is to expect there to be issues! Drawings that are made with such care and precision in the office, frequently need adaptation once you are out on site. I have also learned that this role has much more to do with communication than you are led to believe. It is so important to keep the communication flowing between the consultant and the contractor.

Have you faced any challenges as a woman in engineering. And if so, how did you overcome them?

One of the challenges has been finding quality PPE that actually fits! Boots and gloves have been a huge challenge, as the standard options on offer simply do not fit or are not fit for purpose.

What are some of the misconceptions or stereotypes about women in engineering that you would like to challenge?

There may be a misconception where women are considered to be too emotional, and weak to be able to do the job. There may well be aspects of physicality where women are unable to compete on a level playing field with the men. (I definitely needed help when I was carrying all my kit over distances). However, that does not make me unable to do my job. My ability to use the equipment accurately, understand the results and problem solve, is not diminished by this.

Can you share an example of a project or accomplishment in your career that you are particularly proud of.

I have recently been nominated for the ‘Ground Engineering Rising Star Award’  by a client for a project I completed for them. I was given the task of reviewing and streamlining the inspection frequency data for all their assets throughout the south-west region. This comprises 5,864 earthworks covering over 1,600km.  My goal was to bring the Highways Authority’s’ inspection regime into line with the new approach developed by Safety, Engineering and Standards (SES).  Using a Python Script (a programme which asked a series of yes/no questions), I was able to define a set of rules to determine the recommended return period for each earthwork using key asset categories, such as feature grade assessments, geology, earthwork classification and morphology. The entire process was documented and condensed into an 18 page report which is now available on GDMS and currently is in use as a guide for other UK regions. Being recognised by a client for a piece of work is really special, and I am looking forward to the award ceremony in London, where I shall find out if I have won!

Teacher Placement Programme

We were proud to collaborate with STEM Ambassadors in Scotland and Go!Construct to deliver a two-day Scottish STEM Placement Teacher Education Programme. Five secondary school teachers from local schools joined us for an insightful and hands on experience across both our head office in Motherwell and our site in Cowcaddens at Glasgow city centre.

Day 1 featured introductions to colleagues from various departments, each sharing their unique career journeys into the industry. The day also included an engaging Social Value mini project and a Q&A session.

Day 2 took teachers to our Cowcaddens site, where they toured the site office, observed live construction works, and interacted with our student placements and project team.

The feedback from both teachers and our staff was incredibly positive. Teachers left with a broader and deeper understanding of the range of careers and pathways available in construction, which they can now pass on to their pupils which will help to inspire the next generation of engineering and construction.

A big thank you to everyone who contributed to the success of the placement!

Electric Vehicle Chargers at our Head Office

To support our decarbonisation journey, we are delighted to launch six new electric vehicle chargers at our UK Head Office in Motherwell Scotland. This will allow us to significantly expand the number of electric vehicles in our company fleet. It also supports members of our team to make the switch to electric vehicles who don’t have access to charging facilities at home.
Each charger can deliver charging speeds of up to 22kW, filling an average EV battery in under 3 hours! All electricity is purchased via a REGO-backed renewable tariff to maximise the emissions savings achieved.

Thanks to EVC Scotland Ltd for a very smooth installation and to Maxim Park for their support for this project.

Mental Health Awareness Week 2025

Rcently we embraced Mental Health Awareness Week with a packed programme of events designed to get conversations started and spark some positive energy across our offices and sites. We begun with Mindful Monday toolbox talks and followed with Talk it out Tuesday, a mental health info drop-in live session, then we held a Wear it Green Wednesday, making space for important conversations.

A team litter pick helped us clear our heads and our surroundings, and at our Motherwell office we held a taste and talk Thursday where the team brought in some of their favourite food to share. The ice cream van rolled in just in time for Feel Good Friday complete with lawn games and refreshing drinks, bringing smiles all around. We were also highlighting the power of communities in supporting mental health and wellbeing.

While this week shines a spotlight on mental health, it’s also a reminder that supporting one another should happen every week.
