Anders Heine Jensen of Denmark’s Burmeister & Wain Scandinavian Contractor (BWSC) has said that he is fearful that a reduction in business could result from a decision by the UK to leave.
The company currently has eight projects in the UK, including the recently completed straw-fuelled Brigg Renewable Energy Plant in Lincolnshire.
Many of Britain’s biggest construction companies are in fact subsidiaries of mainland European companies, including Skanska, Amey (Ferrovial), Bouygues, BAM and Vinci.
Between January 2015 and April 2016, the UK’s 10 biggest construction companies with EU headquarters outside of Britain, won a combined £7.3bn worth of construction contracts in the UK.
