Danaher & Walsh Announces Biggest Contract Win in Company History

Our Biggest Contract Win in Company History

Danaher & Walsh Civil Engineering has secured its biggest contract win to date. Galliford Try has awarded the company a £10 million-plus contract.

This major milestone reflects the continued growth of Danaher & Walsh. It also highlights the strength of our in-house civil engineering delivery teams.

The contract forms part of the new North and East Melton Mowbray Distributor Road scheme. Leicestershire County Council will use the road to improve transport links around the town.

Supporting the Melton Mowbray Distributor Road Scheme

The North and East Melton Mowbray Distributor Road is a £115 million scheme. Leicestershire County Council, the UK government and the Leicester and Leicestershire Enterprise Partnership are funding the project.

Once complete, the scheme will create a new corridor for the A606 around the north and east of Melton Mowbray.

As a result, the road will help reduce congestion in the town centre. It will also support housing delivery and encourage local economic growth.

In addition, the scheme will improve movement around Melton Mowbray. This will help create a better environment for residents, businesses and visitors.

Danaher & Walsh’s Role

Danaher & Walsh will deliver civil engineering packages across the scheme.

Our project team is already in place. Contract Manager Mark Hedges and Commercial Manager Scot Jerram will lead the team.

Work will begin on site on 17 July 2023. Danaher & Walsh expects its element of the project to take around two years to complete.

Throughout the works, our team will focus on safety, collaboration, and quality. We will also work closely with Galliford Try and the project stakeholders.

Working Collaboratively

Sean McCallion, Operations Director at Danaher & Walsh Civil Engineering Ltd, said:

“Danaher & Walsh is delighted to have secured this contract. We look forward to working collaboratively with Galliford Try and Leicestershire County Council.

“Together, we will help deliver the distributor road around Melton Mowbray. The scheme will create a more pleasant town centre environment for the local community.

“Alongside Galliford Try, we will work with key stakeholders throughout the project. Therefore, we can help minimise disruption and maximise the benefits for local people.”

A Significant Milestone for Danaher & Walsh

This contract marks a significant achievement for Danaher & Walsh Civil Engineering.

It demonstrates the capability of our directly employed teams. It also shows our ability to support major infrastructure schemes across the Midlands.

As the project progresses, Danaher & Walsh looks forward to supporting a scheme that will bring long-term benefits to Melton Mowbray and the surrounding area.
