Severfield has launched a new 鈥渂ridges team鈥�, after recruiting a 鈥渟ignificant number鈥� of staff from the wound down infrastructure division of rival steelwork contractor Mabey Bridge.

Mabey Bridge announced last year that it was winding down its Chepstow-based infrastructure division.

The new Severfield 鈥榖ridge team鈥� continues to be based in Chepstow, in Severfield office premises.

All manufacturing for the Severfield bridge team will be carried out at Severfield鈥檚 Lostock factory.

Ian Lawson, Severfield chief executive, said: 鈥淲e are delighted to recruit a large number of employees from the Mabey Bridge business. It provides us with a fantastic opportunity to enhance and expand our current bridge capabilities which is excellent news for clients.鈥�

Severfield said the move emphasised the firm鈥檚 鈥渙ngoing strategy to grow and diversify in expanding markets such as infrastructure鈥�.
