New Stockton concrete plant brings jobs boost

A new concrete plant in Stockton-on-Tees is set to create local jobs.

Biker Group, a family-owned construction company based in Thirsk, North Yorkshire, has opened a £1.5 million concrete plant on Sedgefield Way, off Portrack Lane, creating at least eight new roles. 

Bosses say the Stockton site will support Biker Group’s concrete division, which specialises in supplying and delivering fresh ready-mix and volumetric concrete across the North East and Yorkshire. 

They add the plant will initially employ a plant manager, drivers and other key roles, with potential for further recruitment as operations scale.

Sam Biker, director at Biker Group Concrete, said: “Our Stockton-on-Tees plant is a strategic step forward for the concrete division of the business.  

“We’ve built strong relationships with our existing clients, and this new location allows us to better serve the Teesside area while continuing to deliver the high-quality service and products our customers expect.

“We saw an opportunity for the growth of our concrete business in an area where we are increasingly being asked by customers to supply from our existing plants in Leyburn, Dalton and Catterick.

“Our Stockton Plant is equipped with the latest technology to ensure the highest quality of ready-mix and volumetric concrete, allowing us to meet the needs of project requirements.”

Founded more than 50 years ago and run by brothers Matthew, Ben and Sam, the eponymous Biker Group has grown significantly, offering a range of services including bespoke joinery, construction, groundworks, haulage and aggregates. 

The launch of the new depot enables the business to strengthen its service provision for domestic, commercial, agricultural and industrial customers.
