Marlborough Highways to host West Berkshire Meet the Buyer event

  • By Marlborough Highways

Marlborough Highways is inviting local suppliers, SMEs and specialist contractors to attend its upcoming Meet the Buyer event as part of preparations for the start of its new highways term maintenance contract with West Berkshire Council.

The event will take place at Newbury Racecourse on Tuesday 28th July from 9am, and will give businesses the opportunity to meet members of the Marlborough team, learn more about the contract and understand how they could support delivery across West Berkshire.

Marlborough was recently appointed to deliver West Berkshire Council’s Highways Term Maintenance Contract, which will run from October 2026 to 2033. The contract will cover a range of highways services across the district, helping keep roads, footways and public spaces safe, accessible and well maintained.

The Meet the Buyer event will provide an overview of the contract scope, key work areas and how the contract will be delivered. Attendees will also hear more about Marlborough’s procurement, onboarding and compliance requirements, as well as the company’s sustainability and social value commitments.

The event will also include an opportunity to meet members of Marlborough’s operational, commercial and procurement teams, with optional 1-2-1 supplier conversations available, subject to availability.

Marlborough is particularly keen to hear from local businesses and suppliers operating in West Berkshire and the surrounding area. This includes suppliers working across civils, footway works, horticulture and arboriculture, labour and plant, road marking, traffic management, street lighting, signage, surface treatment, vehicle restraint systems, winter maintenance, materials supply, drainage and gully cleaning.

“One of the things I value most is their very collaborative and transparent team culture. It makes a big difference to have a contractor that wants to work closely with us and is supportive and responsive. With Marlborough, I get a team who are attentive, work collaboratively and honestly with me and don’t lose focus on delivering first class communications and compliance.”
Carly Norris, Project Manager Operations, Hackney Council
“From the design stage, Marlborough has been fundamental in delivering the Broad Lane Square improvements scheme. During the works, not only did the team manage to keep to the programme, but they went the extra mile to ensure attention to detail and came up with innovative solutions to address issues encountered on site. My thanks on behalf of Haringey goes out to Marlborough for their dedication to deliver.”
Dana Rasheed, Project Manager, Haringey Council
“Working alongside our Term Service Contractor Marlborough Highways, we successfully completed renovations to the Crowstone Footbridge. The designs were provided by Marlborough, and the work was unique. The scheme was completed to budget and ahead of its programme duration.”
Neil Handley, Senior Engineer, Southend-on-Sea City Council
“I would like to thank you and your team for your efforts, the Marlborough crews were professional, courteous, and hard working all day and ensured the event went without a hitch. You and the team were a credit to the company, demonstrating commitment and support to the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham.”
Nick Davies, Specialist Services Manager, Barking and Dagenham Council
“I just wanted to say what a pleasure it has been to work with Marlborough Highways over the last six months. The quality of work is superb, and there has been some excellent collaboration between Milestone and Marlborough to complete, what at times, has been quite a challenging scheme. I hope to work with Marlborough on another project in the near future.”
Colin Hill, Schemes Manager, Milestone Infrastructure
“Marlborough worked with us in constructing a 1.3km cycle track. There were a number of technical difficulties to overcome, and their gifted foreman worked to propose some innovative solutions to the challenges we faced. The result is a facility that the locals are proud of, providing walkers and cyclists with alternative access to the hospital and nearby school. The scheme was a lot of hard work, but well worth it.”
Rob Venables, NEC Project Manager, Essex County Council
“Marlborough attracts people who take care and have pride in their work. Several gangs of Operatives worked tirelessly for six months to reconstruct drainage networks, lay more than 3km of high quality bespoke granite kerbs and granite channels blocks to ensure positive drainage. The technical compliance, attention to detail and level of quality finish along the entire carriageway was exceptional”.
Mark Chiverrell, Technical Director, Project Centre
“We saw huge benefits in appointing Marlborough as our full service contractor and we’re impressed – they’ve delivered consistent high quality service and superior quality control across every project. Marlborough, provide us with a ‘one-stop’ shop solution – we get the same quality of service and better control across all aspects of the project.”
Darren Bryant, Principal Engineer, Enfield Council
