A major environmental remediation project in mid-Wales is set to bring significant opportunities for local businesses.
Shropshire-based civil engineering and building contractor McPhillips has been appointed to carry out works at Dylife Mine in Powys as part of a remediation programme led by the Mining Remediation Authority (MRA) in partnership with Natural Resources Wales.
The project aims to control pollution and reduce the metal loading caused by surface water runoff from the historic lead and copper mining site, which has been identified as affecting 35km of local watercourse. It is a significant and complex scheme, and McPhillips is keen to bring local suppliers and contractors on board as part of its social value commitments.
A meet the buyer event is being held from noon on Thursday, April 16 at The Star Inn, Dylife, SY19 7BW, giving local businesses the chance to learn more about the supply chain opportunities available.
McPhillips is particularly keen to hear from suppliers of:
- Aggregates
- Civil engineering products
- Drainage products
- Timber
- Ready-mix concrete
- Waste disposal
- Fencing
- Fuel
- Plant and machinery hire
- Site accommodation
- Skip hire
- Tool hire
Roger Cox, McPhillips procurement manager, said: “If your business supplies any of the above, this is an event well worth attending. We have made a clear commitment to using a local supply chain on this project, so this is a genuine opportunity to get involved in a high-profile scheme on your doorstep.”
To confirm your attendance or to find out more, email Jack Clements at jclements@mcphillips.co.uk before 7 April 2026.
