Recently, the company proved its capabilities on one of its biggest projects, delivering about 12 miles of process pipework and over 26,000 welds. Tulway also locked in a fiveyear extension with Altrad and started supporting Highview Power’ s liquid-air energy storage developments.
Even with so many opportunities, workforce development is still one of Kevin’ s top priorities.“ The UK can announce billions in infrastructure investment, but those programs won’ t happen without welders, pipefitters, platers, supervisors, inspectors, and welding engineers.” That labor challenge led Tulway to invest in apprenticeships
and plan a training school that combines classroom learning with hands-on experience in a real fabrication shop.“ The goal isn’ t just to teach someone how to weld. It’ s about building an understanding of quality, safety, materials, traceability, and the standards major energy projects demand.”
This focus on well-rounded skills shows a leadership style that values longterm capability over quick growth. As industry demand grows, Kevin believes the companies that keep high technical standards and invest in people will be best positioned to support the next wave of industrial investment.
