  • By Marlborough Highways

Marlborough Highways is delighted to announce that it has been awarded a new seven-year contract with the Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead, which will commence in April 2026.

Drawing on more than three decades of experience, our dedicated people will deliver a full programme of Highways Maintenance and Capital Works. The scope includes carriageway and footway improvements, bridge and structural works, public realm enhancements, reactive repairs, traffic management, routine gully cleansing, emergency call-outs and winter maintenance.

Social value will play a central role throughout the contract period. Working closely with the Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead, Marlborough will champion initiatives that create employment opportunities for local residents, introduce new apprenticeships, and inspire young people through school and college engagement. We will also support community organisations and deliver meaningful programmes that bring people together and contribute to shared success across the borough.

Marlborough and the Council share a strong commitment to the environment. From day one, Marlborough will deliver the contract in a carbon-neutral way, aligning with the borough’s long-term environmental vision while advancing our own sustainability goals. This includes the use of low-carbon materials, greener construction methods, electric vehicles, biofuel-powered plant and other innovative technologies designed to minimise environmental impact.

Awarded following a highly competitive tender process, the contract is valued at up to £8.2 million per year. With an initial seven-year term and the potential to extend for a further seven, this award strengthens Marlborough’s growing footprint across London and the South East and reflects the trust placed in our people, our processes and our consistently high standards of delivery.

Matthew Revell, Managing Director of Marlborough Highways said:

“We are incredibly proud to begin this new partnership with the Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead. This contract award reflects the trust placed in our people, our processes and the consistently high standard of our work. The Royal Borough is a vibrant and distinctive borough, and we are excited to bring our expertise, energy and spirit to the community. By delivering high-quality infrastructure, championing social value and operating sustainably from day one, we look forward to helping create a greener, safer and more inclusive borough for everyone.”

Councillor Geoff Hill, Cabinet Member for Highways and Transport and Customer Service Centre, said:

“We look forward to working together with Marlborough Highways as part of our commitment to creating a cleaner, greener and safer borough. The new contract will ensure the smooth delivery of new projects and maintain the high standard of our road and highways network. This will directly benefit residents and make travelling in the borough easier for all road users.”

“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
