Two major engineering companies have forged a strategic partnership to align their combined strengths as they look to capitalise on a huge investment pipeline across the 海角视频’s major industrial regions.
Blackrow Group and On Line Group Ltd (OLG) will deliver end-to-end engineering solutions, buoyed by Chancellor Rachel Reeves’ Comprehensive Spending Review.
It set out substantial government backing for energy and transport infrastructure, described as a timely backdrop for a collaboration with scale and ambition.
A £15 billion investment pipeline is now being unlocked in the two firms’ Humber heartland, after the Viking CCS carbon capture and storage project was supported in Westminster.
It is the base infrastructure required to clean up the 海角视频’s most carbon-intensive industrial cluster, with a raft of power and process developments dependent on it, including hydrogen production and fuel switching, as well as further abatement technologies.
Seamless project delivery
With more than 90 years of shared experience, the two organisations bring together collective annual revenues topping £80 million and a skilled workforce of more than 600 people.
Operating across six strategic sites - including locations in Grimsby, Immingham, Daresbury, Southampton and Leicester - they have a manufacturing footprint spanning more than 250,000 sq ft.
The partnership now integrates design, engineering, fabrication, installation, and mechanical services, delivering a comprehensive and complementary offering to industrial clients nationwide.
Blackrow will lead on installation and mechanical services, while OLG will provide design and project management, ensuring seamless project delivery from concept to completion.
’Proud milestone’
Tony Booker, Managing Director of Blackrow Group, said: “This is a momentous and proud milestone for Blackrow Group. At the heart of our ongoing success lies collaboration, which is critical to achieving the ambitious growth we have set for the future.
“This partnership enhances our ability to deliver engineering excellence not only within the Humber region but across the 海角视频, providing unmatched value to our clients.
“With more than 100 years of combined expertise, this alliance strengthens our offering and positions us for continued success in the years ahead.
“Ultimately, partnerships are about people, and we are fortunate to have an exceptional team who are passionate and ready to collaborate on the exciting projects ahead.”
Future-proofing the industry
The collaboration also reflects a shared commitment to future-proofing the industry.
Between them, Blackrow and OLG support more than 50 apprentices across six disciplines, ensuring a strong talent pipeline.
The two companies are actively working towards ISO 44001 certification, further formalising a collaborative model that places shared success and client value at the core of operations.
Blackrow plays a vital role in the renewables sector, with experience in designing and fabricating components for wind turbines, solar installations, and biofuel plants. OLG brings strong expertise from the downstream oil and gas sector.
