We are pleased to announce a significant milestone in the development of our new Marchwood site – the successful arrival of our first delivery.

This moment marks the beginning of a new chapter for John Wainwright & Co Ltd and represents an important step forward in the continued expansion of our operations. Marchwood has been developed as a key strategic investment in our future capabilities, strengthening our ability to serve customers efficiently and sustainably across the region.

The first delivery is particularly meaningful given the long-standing relationships that underpin our business. It was fitting to receive this shipment, reflecting the enduring partnership between Brett Group and our CEO, Tom Longland. This collaboration is built on many years of trust, shared values, and a mutual commitment to quality and reliability within the construction materials sector.

The occasion also carries historical significance. The last vessel to serve the site was The Britannia Beaver, making this first delivery a symbolic full-circle moment that connects the site’s heritage with its future purpose. Seeing the site operational once again is a proud moment for all involved and a testament to the collective effort that has gone into bringing Marchwood back into active use.

We extend our sincere thanks to Associated British Ports Britannia Aggregates Brett Group and our dedicated team for their support, expertise, and hard work in making this milestone possible. The coordination and commitment across all parties have been instrumental in ensuring a smooth and successful first delivery.

As operations at Marchwood continue to develop, the site will play an increasingly important role in supporting our logistics network and enhancing service resilience for our customers. We look forward to building on this strong start and realising the full potential of the site in the months and years ahead.
