The Wakefield-based engineering firm has consolidated its three technical divisions under a single brand following a significant increase in turnover.
Stockton Group, a specialist in drilling and pipeline infrastructure, has unveiled a strategic restructure to unify its drilling, pipelines, and civils operations. The move follows a period of rapid financial expansion, with the company reporting a turnover increase from £10 million in FY2024 to £25 million in FY2025.
Headquartered in West Yorkshire, the firm is currently the only UK-based provider of Direct Pipe®, a low-impact technology used to install pipelines under challenging terrain. This method is increasingly sought after for sensitive environmental projects and complex network upgrades across the UK.
The transition from a niche contractor to a multi-disciplinary engineering partner includes a refreshed brand identity and the launch of a new website. This shift is intended to facilitate Stockton’s involvement in the early-stage planning and design of national infrastructure programmes.
Stockton Group’s portfolio includes high-profile projects for Britvic Soft Drinks, Leeds Beckett University, and the Beatrice Offshore Windfarm in the North Sea.
Fiona O’Connell, managing director, said: “I am proud to introduce the new Stockton Group. By bringing our core three divisions together we can present a clearer, more consistent offer to our clients, whether they’ve worked with us for years or are just discovering us. Our clients are asking for more integrated delivery and earlier technical input into their projects, not just specialist drilling support. Aligning our teams in one structure means we can take greater responsibility across the lifecycle of a project, improving transparency, clarity and efficiency across the board.
“This change is not just about how we present ourselves externally, it's about ensuring we are prepared to support the UK’s next wave of infrastructure investment by combining the experience, capability and insight of our whole business to deliver meaningful and lasting value for our clients.
“From feasibility to delivery, we turn complex challenges into problems solved, delivering results that reduce risk, protect people, care for the environment and provide lasting value for our clients.”
