United Infrastructure and Hodgson Sayers leaders

United Infrastructure, the private construction and infrastructure company, has acquired specialist roofing contractor Hodgson Sayers.

Founded in 1979 and based in Stanley, County Durham, with a further office in Nottingham, Hodgson Sayers specialises in roofing, building envelope and civils work, metalwork and fabrication, and security products.

The company has a long-standing relationship spanning 45 years with Northern Powergrid and recently secured contracts with National Grid, local authorities, and housing associations.

Acquisition

Warrington-headquartered United Infrastructure says the acquisition represents another step in its growth across the power and social infrastructure markets, bringing specialist roofing and building envelope capability in-house and helping to broaden its ability to deliver end-to-end solutions for customers.

Neil Armstrong, Chairman and CEO of United Infrastructure, said: “This acquisition is a strong strategic fit for United Infrastructure, adding valuable roofing and building-fabric expertise to our growing power and social infrastructure capability.

“I would like to thank Billy Hodgson and John Sayers for the inspiring vision and leadership they’ve shown in building Hodgson Sayers into the respected business it is today. Their continued support and expertise will be invaluable as we work together to take the business to the next level and help it reach its full potential.”

New Chapter

Billy Hodgson, Chairman & Founder of Hodgson Sayers, added: “Having started the business from humble beginnings in 1979, it has given me enormous pride to grow it to the successful organisation that it is today, itself a testament to the hard work, talent, and loyalty of our team, and to the clients who have trusted us over the years.

“United Infrastructure shares our values and our commitment to quality and service, and joining them marks the start of an exciting new chapter, giving us access to greater resources and expertise, a wider network, and the scale to accelerate our next phase of growth. I’m hugely excited about what we can achieve together.”
