giving back to the communities in which we work, whether it’ s sending our employees on community days or supporting local good causes close to our projects,” Kevin confirms.“ We recently upgraded some park equipment, for instance, which was near one of our major projects, as a thank you for patience shown during any disruption and to contribute to the local area. It’ s important that we take our social responsibility very seriously, not only because it’ s the right thing to do but it is becoming more important to the communities we serve, our clients and our workforce.
“ From an environmental perspective, much of what we do contributes to the UK’ s Net Zero and decarbonisation agendas,” he adds.“ In the event of water leaks, for instance, our rapid response teams strive to control the leak and preserve as much water as possible. Our wastewater teams are working with our clients to prevent storm overflows and sewage ending up in our watercourses, and our utilities work is enhancing electrical capabilities and supporting electrification efforts across the UK. We’ ve seen increased regulation and protocols around some of our work, such as new legislation that requires us to separate hazardous and non-hazardous waste during our street works operations. We’ ve had to adapt our activities to this change, and it has transformed the ways in which we record and capture data.”
Growth trajectory
From speaking with Kevin, it’ s clear that Network Plus is a trusted partner to the UK’ s leading utility providers. With more than two decades of experience, a growing national footprint, and an ever-evolving portfolio of capabilities, the company will continue to scale operations while remaining agile to meet customer demands. Looking ahead, Kevin shares his predictions for what the future holds.
“ 2026 will bring further growth for the business, especially as many of the contracts we won in late 2025 continue to ramp up, and we’ re delighted with the progress made over the past months on our water mains renewal project with United Utilities which will continue to grow through the rest of the year,” Kevin concludes.“ We’ re in the process of tendering several opportunities, and we’ re exploring further acquisitions and investments to strengthen our capabilities and geographic presence. We’ ll continue to deploy more technology across the business and better understand how AI can improve our operations, as well as ensuring we attract the right people that can support our growth journey. We’ re already on track to reach £ 750 million in revenue this financial year, but we’ re passionate about running the business as effectively and efficiently as possible while delivering for our clients and their customers.” ■
