Meet BWL Group at Highways UK 2026
BWL Group’s Commercial Business Director, Sean Mander, will be at Highways UK on the 14th and 15th of October 2026 in Hall 5 at the NEC in Birmingham, meeting contractors and consultants from across the highways and road infrastructure sector.
Highways UK is widely regarded as the key event in the UK highways calendar. It brings the whole value chain together, from clients and main contractors to specialist suppliers and technology providers, to share market knowledge and create new business opportunities.
The event has proven its worth for BWL Group, and at last year’s show Sean met with a number of existing clients and secured two new client relationships, both of which have since become part of BWL’s growing highways portfolio.
Highways UK is one of the most productive events in our calendar,” said Sean. “It’s where the conversations about the sector’s future pipeline actually happen, and it’s a great opportunity to catch up with the people we already work with and meet those we’d like to. The highways market is competitive, and clients are asking more of their supply chain than ever. Good bids need to reflect that, and that’s where we can help. – Sean Mander
BWL Group has been active across the highways sector throughout 2026, supporting clients on a range of significant opportunities. These include the Cullompton Town Centre Relief Road for Devon County Council, the Birmingham Highways Framework for Birmingham City Council and four separate Lots of National Highways’ Scheme Delivery Framework 2 (SDF2).
This experience spans local authority schemes and national frameworks, giving BWL a detailed understanding of what highways clients look for in social value, carbon reduction, collaborative working and value for money, and how to evidence it convincingly in a tender response.
BWL Group provides end-to-end bid support, including bid writing, storyboarding, bid management, reviews and tender support. The team works with organisations across construction, infrastructure, facilities management and professional services to improve win rates and build stronger, more compliant submissions.
Sean will be available throughout both days of the event to discuss your upcoming highways tenders and framework bids.
