04/06/2026

Not long now until 𝗙𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗱 & 𝗖𝗼𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 - and next week we’re heading to Liverpool… a city that knows a thing or two about making waves 🌊🎶

From the banks of the Mersey to the frontlines of flood resilience, let’s ‘Come Together’ to share ideas and find innovative solutions aimed at helping the people and places most at risk from flooding and coastal erosion.

We’re proud to be exhibiting across all three days of this industry-leading event, hosted by CIWEM (The Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management).

When it comes to tackling rising water challenges, ‘We Can Work It Out’ - and we’re always ready to ‘Help’ with bespoke piling solutions.

With motorways and major trunk roads carrying a third of all UK traffic - and two thirds of all heavy goods vehicles - they form the vital backbone of our economy, operating 24/7 to keep the country moving.

We specialise in the design and installation of retaining walls, delivering sustainable, innovative and effective solutions tailored to the unique challenges of each scheme.

At Ivor King, we believe people are our greatest asset - which is why Employee Wellbeing is a top priority for us.

We recently held a session to showcase the wide range of support available through our Employee Assistance Programme, ensuring our team knows exactly how to access the help and resources available to them, including GP consultations, physiotherapy sessions, life coaching, mental health support, and wellness initiatives.

And because wellbeing is about both mind and body, we’re also proud to offer weekly yoga sessions at IKHQ, led by a local instructor - completely free for our employees 🧘‍♀️

We do this because we genuinely care about our team. Supporting their health, happiness, and development helps create a positive working environment where everyone can thrive – both professionally and personally.

We’re proud to share that one of our employee’s daughters will be taking part in a fantastic fundraising effort this Sunday 💛

Team Pumpkin Boxing Club are raising funds for a brave young boy, Harry Walters, who was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of cancer a few months ago. He is currently receiving treatment at Birmingham Children’s Hospital.

We’d like to wish him, and all those taking part, the very best of luck 👏

Every contribution makes a difference 🙏

Harry Walters one of our boxers has been with us from the start, needs our support.

We’re proud to feature in the latest edition of The Construction Index, in an article called ‘Piling Without The Impact’.

The article highlights how modern piling techniques, particularly press-in ‘silent’ methods, can significantly reduce noise, vibration, and disruption on sensitive or urban sites. It explores how low-impact methods are reshaping best practice in construction by improving environmental performance and buildability.

The piece includes a look at our latest collaboration with GIKEN LTD. / 株式会社技研製作所 and the introduction of exciting new Gyropiler technology to the UK - a rotary cutting press-in function which allows large diameter steel tubes to be installed into even the most challenging ground.

Read the full feature to see how we’re pushing boundaries in ground engineering using the Silent Piling principles for which Ivor King is synonymous.

🎯𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗽 • 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸 • 𝗔𝗰𝘁 – 𝗔𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗹 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 𝗦𝗮𝗳𝗲𝘁𝘆 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗶𝗼𝗻

At Ivor King, safety is driven by our people - taking ownership, staying alert to risks, and stepping in to protect one another every single day.

This month’s Safety Champion is Works Supervisor, Craig Wheatley, for his positive intervention and commitment to improvement. Craig put forward a practical improvement to further strengthen existing communication practices by ensuring fitting teams always have ready access to two-way radios when setting up and rigging plant.

Craig was presented with his award by Health & Safety Advisor Jake Humphries, along with a £50 Amazon gift card, in recognition of his proactive approach to safety.

We actively encourage safety observations across our teams. By staying vigilant and taking action early, we continue to build a culture where everyone looks out for each other.

Together, we’re committed to making sure everyone goes home safe and well.
