Supply Chain Stories: HS2 and Draper Civil Engineering

Family-business Draper Civil Engineering has reported its highest ever growth, thanks to a series of back to back contract awards from HS2’s construction partners.

The company, which is run by brothers Liam and Dale, began supporting the construction of Britain’s new zero carbon railway four years ago. They were awarded a contract to support the archaeologists who carried out Birmingham’s most complex excavation programme, which led to the discovery of the world’s oldest roundhouse, more than 6,500 skeletons and important historical artefacts that shed new light on the city’s fascinating history.

The Draper brothers have now secured their first contract on HS2’s second phase, linking the West Midlands and Crewe, where they will be carrying out further archaeological exploratory works. The company is fast becoming known for its expertise in the area and has started to win new work, on other projects, thanks to the networks they are building though HS2’s supply chain.
