Shufflebottom is pleased to report that progress is well underway for a major rebuild and refurbishment at Ysgol Bryngwyn in Llanelli, Carmarthenshire. Importantly, not only is progress well underway, but progressing well.

We are proud to be a key element in the supply chain for principal contractor, Lloyd & Gravell, of Pont-Henri, Llanelli who are delivering this multi-million project for their client Carmarthenshire County Council as part of its Modernising Education Programme in collaboration with Welsh Government’s Sustainable Communities for Learning Programme.

Shufflebottom has shown its commitment to growth and development of their team, by joining The 5% Club together with their sister company, Hambleton Steel and group, Embrace Steel.  The 5% club is an industry led initiative focused on driving momentum into the recruitment of apprentices, graduates, T-Level students, and sponsored students.

Shufflebottom’s on-going story of success continued in all aspects of our business throughout 2024. The countless steel-framed buildings we delivered and the tonnages of structural steel underpinned the futures of our customers in the agricultural, industrial and commercial sectors. As importantly, we continued to support charities close to home and close to our heart, and committed to Faith in Families as our chosen charity for 2024-2025.

We’re always thrilled when we see local Carmarthenshire businesses go from strength to strength. Especially when we’ve been part of their development over the years. Such is the case with our near neighbour, Castell Howell, proudly based at Cross Hands Food Park.

Shufflebottom is proud to share the news that construction is well underway and our structural steel now underpins a brand new detached and sustainable warehousing and manufacturing space at Unit 4, Heads of the Valleys Industrial Estate in Rhymney, south Wales.

Working in collaboration with construction and civil engineering specialists, ENCON, who are the lead contractor for this project, we have delivered 176 tonnes of hot-rolled steel and 22 tonnes of cold-rolled steel which will be at the structural heart of this Unit which is on target to be completed by the end of 2024.

We go back a long way is a much-used phrase that carries a deep emotional resonance. This could not be truer than of Shufflebottom’s relationship with Shortland Structures, the Sussex-based company, well-trusted across the South of England for delivering both high-standards and structures that ‘stand the test of time.’

Shufflebottom is proud to announce that it is continuing its already successful relationship with Bouygues UK. Bouygues UK is the lead contractor on a ground-breaking development in Carmarthen town centre that will see the old retail store of Debenhams transformed into a state-of-the-art health, wellbeing, educational and leisure hub that will include a high-spec family entertainment centre.

Shufflebottom is proud to announce that its structural steel will be at the heart of the £20 million state-of-the-art expansion of special needs school, Ysgol Y Deri in the Vale of Glamorgan.
