Leeds engineering firm expands workforce following £500k contract wins

A West Yorkshire engineering specialist has landed contract wins of six-figures in its first year of operations.

RWO, which opened in 2019, has already secured over £500k of work, with an additional £250k in the final stages of agreement.

The contracts include a range of new housing developments and infrastructure projects across Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire.

Currently employing 19 people, RWO predicts continued expansion over the next 18 months as part of planned strategic growth and with the expected return to work for the construction and building sector following the coronavirus crisis.

Based in Park Place, the firm is currently recruiting and is on target to reach £2m in revenues by 2021.

Andrew Fairburn, director of the Leeds office, commented: “We’re well placed to take advantage of increasing enquiry activity and order levels in what is predicted to be a recovering construction and built environment sector.

“Based on current predictions and orders, we can’t see any reason why we cannot continue to grow and achieve predicted revenues in a year’s time.

“The pipeline for future work, underpinned by our track record in resolving complex issues and supported by investment in additional capacity, looks strong, ensuring we will continue to grow and strengthen our position.”
