Closure of the Yate Facility

Billington Holdings Plc (AIM: BILN), one of the UK's leading structural steel and construction safety solutions specialists, announces, further to the announcement on 14 October 2025, that the Company has now completed the evaluation of a number of options regarding the restructuring of its structural steel operations and has concluded that the Group's Yate facility in Bristol will be closed. The Group's structural steel operations will therefore be consolidated at Billington's Wombwell and Shafton sites in Barnsley, local to all other Group operations. 

Following the previously announced consultation with the affected employees at Yate, which has now concluded, a proportion of them will be transferred to the Group's Barnsley facilities in early 2026. In addition, new staff have joined the Group at the two Barnsley facilities and a further expansion of night shifts will mitigate the loss of capacity at Yate. The Yate production facility will largely cease operation by the end of 2025 with the technical office, located at Yate, remaining unaffected.

The consolidation at Barnsley will provide the Group with the flexibility to more closely align operational capacity with market demand, together with reducing overheads and delivering significant cost and operational efficiencies. Recent capital investments at the two Barnsley facilities have allowed for an increase in productive output and the transfer of machinery from Yate will reduce the requirement for future capital expenditure. The Company will now also explore options to maximise the value of the Yate site.
