The UKs leading manufacturer of prefabricated reinforcement steel has invested £4m into a new 220,000 sq ft facility in Cannock, with 57 new jobs created so far.

Total Construction Supplies Ltd, which was founded in 1998 by Craig Gibbons and Matthew Hague, has seen turnover double after securing major new contracts with HS2 and a host of highways, housing and nuclear infrastructure projects.

This growth has driven the need for the new Walkmill Lane site that has already been fitted with state-of-the-art cutting and bending machinery, industry-leading welding equipment and overhead gantry cranes stretching the length of the production area.

The facility was officially opened on Friday December 9th as part of a major open day featuring guided tours, ‘day in the life of an employee talks’, and meet the managers.

It also kickstarted the next recruitment push to fill a further 60 positions in 2023, with the company hoping to overcome labour market issues by maximising a strategic partnership with HMP Oakwood.
