Latest aerial progress from VGP Park East Midlands, where both Phase 1 units are now nearing completion.

Glencar is delivering two major logistics units on behalf of VGP, with Unit 3 providing 240,000 sq ft and Unit 4 providing 130,000 sq ft of high-quality industrial space.

Power is anticipated to be on and commissioned by mid-July, alongside the remaining core works. External planting will follow later in the year, in line with the autumn planting season.

The scheme has been designed to achieve BREEAM Outstanding, reflecting the strong sustainability ambitions of the development and the collaborative effort across the project team.

Section 278 works are also underway, supporting the wider infrastructure improvements being delivered as part of the scheme.

A fantastic effort from everyone involved as this landmark first project with VGP and Newlands continues to move towards completion.

Three days, countless miles, a few sore legs… all captured in two minutes. 📹

Four weeks ago today, the On Yer Bike 2026 cyclists set off from Leitrim, taking on an unforgettable journey across Ireland in support of some brilliant causes. 🚵‍♂️

The challenge raised more than £150,000 for the Glencar Foundation, helping smaller charities in the communities where we work.

We were also proud to donate £25,000 to The FTD Brothers - Jordan Adams, who were completing their own incredible challenge at the same time - running 32 marathons in 32 days across Ireland.

Watch the video for a look back at the miles, moments and team spirit that made On Yer Bike 2026 such a special event.

A huge well done to everyone involved.

A brilliant day on court in support of a very worthy cause.

Glencar was pleased to co-host last week’s Charity Padel Tournament alongside Knight Webb, bringing together clients, partners and friends from across the industry in support of Wood Street Mission

It was a fantastic opportunity to connect, compete and raise awareness for an organisation doing vital work to support children and families across the region.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the day such a success.

Congratulations to Indurent on being crowned tournament champions, and well done to Newlands Property Developments LLP and Richard Webb of Knight Webb on reaching the final.

Last week, Daniel Whyte and Chris Aveyard were in Cannes for Datacloud Global Congress 2026. It was a valuable few days of meetings, conference sessions and industry discussion.

The data centre sector is moving at remarkable speed, with conversations extending far beyond the buildings themselves. Energy, power infrastructure, supply chains, finance, talent, technology, AI and the pace of wider support are all critical to enabling the next wave of growth.

For Glencar, these discussions come at an exciting time.

Following the recent practical completion of LHR21 for Vantage Data Centers, and our appointment by Pure Data Centres Group to deliver the final major build phase of its 90MW Brent Cross Campus in North London, we are continuing to strengthen our position in this key market, with live projects progressing and a strong pipeline of further opportunities developing.

A valuable few days building relationships, developing new connections and gaining further insight into where this fast-growing sector is heading.

What a night at ShedQuarters 2026!

Natural materials, considered design and a collaborative approach to construction.

This video highlights progress at Trehus, One Maidenhead - the first timber office building of its kind in the Southeast of England and part of the wider One Maidenhead masterplan developed by HUB and Smedvig.

The project showcases the benefits of using timber and natural materials to create a high-quality, sustainable building solution, with the construction approach carefully selected by the architect and developer.

As main contractor, Glencar is proud to be bringing the project forward on site, working closely with the wider team to help turn the design intent into reality.

Trehus reflects the value of early collaboration, technical expertise and a shared commitment to quality throughout the construction process.

Thank you to everyone involved, including HUB, Smedvig, Thistleton Architects and HESS TIMBER.

📍 Hillwood Park, Luton – Groundbreaking

There was plenty of sunshine on site as we officially marked the start of works at Hillwood Park Luton.

Held on one of the warmest days of the year, the groundbreaking event brought together key project stakeholders and partners to celebrate the commencement of this major 16-acre, 284,575 sq ft speculative multi-unit industrial and logistics development.

Delivered by Glencar for Hillwood, the scheme will provide eight high-specification Grade-A warehouse units ranging from 14,251 to 79,975 sq ft, designed to support the needs of modern manufacturing, distribution and e-commerce occupiers.

Located within the established Sundon Park Industrial Estate, just minutes from the M1 Junction 11A, Hillwood Park Luton will deliver much-needed new logistics space in a highly strategic location.

Targeting BREEAM Excellent and an EPC A rating, the development will incorporate a range of carbon-reduction and wellbeing-led initiatives to support long-term operational efficiency for future occupiers.

The project marks Glencar’s third appointment with Hillwood, following successful collaborations at Crewe 335 and Wigan 100.

A fantastic milestone to celebrate with the Hillwood team and our project partners as works get underway.

10 years. Record order book. Strongest trading momentum in the Group’s history.

Today we publish our FY25 Annual Report, marking another significant milestone in the evolution of the business.

Over the past year, Glencar has continued expanding its capability across Data Centres, Infrastructure, Logistics, Life Sciences, Film Studios and Specialist Refurbishment, while investing in people, systems, digital capability and ESG.

With major secured schemes now progressing through delivery, the business has entered FY26 with its strongest pipeline to date, improved profitability and a strengthened balance sheet.

The numbers tell the story:
• £470.9m secured order book - the largest in Glencar’s history
• £236m turnover delivered in H1 FY26
• Gross margin: 5.7% FY24 → 6.3% FY25 → 7.3% H1 FY26
• £5m profit before tax in H1 FY26 - already ahead of the full FY25 result
• £53.2m cash position

Recent milestones - including securing the next phase of Pure Data Centres’ Brent Cross campus in North London, a third project with Hillwood at Luton, and the successful completion of major schemes including Vantage Data Centers LHR21 and Ealing Studios - further demonstrate the scale, technical capability and quality of opportunities progressing across the business.

Alongside continued growth in major project delivery, the Special Projects division continues supporting customers with technically complex refurbishment, retrofit and live environment works across a broad range of sectors.

As Glencar enters its tenth year, it does so with the strongest secured order book in its history, growing capability across multiple sectors and the scale, resilience and operational maturity to support its next phase of growth.

Thank you to our customers, consultants, supply chain partners and employees for the trust, commitment and collaboration that continue to underpin Glencar's success.
