Juliet Slater, Woodhead’s Lincolnshire team leader, said: “Over the past few years we have increasingly been working in Lincoln and the wider county.

“This is an exciting time for us, our customers and suppliers. It gives us a platform to invest more in developing our local supply chain and delivering social economic and environmental value.”
As well as projects in Lincoln, the company is a Contractor Partner on the East Midlands Property Alliance Minor Works Construction Framework.
