A construction and civil engineering company is set to pursue expansion plans after purchasing a business park unit in Anglesey to establish a new headquarters.

OBR Construction has acquired the unit at Bryn Cefni Business Park in Llangefni from the Welsh Government in a move that will safeguard 85 existing jobs and create 10 new roles, including five apprenticeships.

The firm, which has an annual turnover of more than £20 million, works with clients across local government, commercial and industrial markets, and the nuclear and waste sectors.

It plans to use the new base to grow as a regional contractor and supplier to the nuclear decommissioning industry.

Rebecca Evans, Cabinet Secretary for Economy, Energy and Planning, said: “This Welsh Government is creating the conditions to help businesses grow as we work towards a greener, fairer more prosperous economy for all parts of Wales.

“The sale of this unit will support the growth of a successful company, safeguarding existing jobs and creating new ones, with a new HQ from which it can expand further.”

OBR Construction Director, Rhys Parry Jones, said: “We are delighted to finalise the acquisition of the business unit at Llangefni, which will assist our expansion ambitions.

“This milestone represents a significant step in strengthening the future of our organisation and supporting our continued growth and development plans.

“The acquisition will secure 85 existing jobs and create up to 10 new roles including five apprenticeships over the next 18 months.

“The new premises will also and put us in a strong position to take advantage of the growing number of opportunities in Anglesey and North Wales.

“Relocating to an existing site close to our current base on the Bryn Cefni Business Park will allow for a smooth transition while giving us the opportunity to adapt and enhance the facilities in line with our commitment to achieving Net Zero by 2050.

“We are extremely excited about this next chapter and look forward to being fully established in our new premises by the end of 2026.”
