Wills Bros Group

Over five decades the firm grew from a modest local operator into a major main contractor across Ireland and the UK with significant turnover.

The team specialises in complex infrastructure works—from highways and motorway projects to bridges, utilities, marine works and flood prevention schemes.

Projects often involve water, sewerage, land reclamation and wind‑farm enabling works for industrial and commercial clients.

Its notable credentials include BIM BSI Kitemark certification and operation of a UKAS‑certified materials testing lab.

Management remains family‑led, with founders still active alongside next‑generation directors guiding strategic growth.

Typical clients include national roads authorities, local councils, airport authorities and high‑regulated sectors like data centres and pharmaceuticals.

The company retains its original family ethos—emphasising long‑served staff, internal promotion and community engagement.
