A gas distribution specialist has won a £2m HS2 contract after working with a strategic partnership that helps local businesses train and recruit staff.
Whitcombe Pipelines (WPL), which employs 160 people at its base in Rowley Regis, will complete reinstatement works for gas pipelines for HS2, as well building new access roads and verges. The company expects more than 40 people will be employed across several HS2 project sites at any one time.
It's the latest landmark in a year of growth for WPL, which has seen sales doubling to £10m over the past twelve months.
