NAYLOR CONCRETE PRODUCTS LTD

What NAYLOR CONCRETE PRODUCTS LTD does

Naylor Concrete Products Ltd is a UK-based manufacturer of precast concrete building products operating from two manufacturing sites in Yorkshire — Barugh Green (Barnsley) and Garforth (Leeds) — plus a head office at Naylor House, Wombwell, Barnsley. The company produces a unified portfolio organised into three categories: concrete lintels (XtraFire™ fire-rated, Hi-Spec, Economy Range, Fair Faced, Fire-Spec, Faced Fire), precast systems (Verti-Block™ retaining walls, Sealwall liquid holding tanks, Rockwall/Groundwall, Staka-Block™ interlocking blocks, prestressed panels, bollards), and concrete fencing (slotted posts, gravel boards, and concrete posts for timber fencing). Manufacturing centres on a £2m automated Prensoland concrete lintel extrusion line commissioned in 2020 with 250 metres of prestressing beds, supported by an in-house R&D laboratory (a £155k investment completed in August 2023), bespoke testing equipment co-developed with Sheffield-based Tinsley Bridge Group, a £220k electrically-heated concrete curing system, and a water recycling system that saves around two million litres of water per year.

Revenue is generated through one-time hardware sales distributed via a nationwide merchant and stockist network (with a public 'Find a Stockist' tool and named relationships at Buildbase and Keyline) and a direct sales motion organised as regional Business Development Managers North and South, supported by Internal Sales Managers for lintels, precast and fencing. Pricing is quote-based on project specifications with no public list pricing. Customers include major UK water utilities (Thames Water, Severn Trent, United Utilities, Welsh Water, Anglian Water) for Sealwall tanks; construction main contractors and developers (Wates Construction, Buckingham Group, Westfield) supplying lintels into flagship projects such as Haribo's £35m Castleford factory, the Wakefield Westgate Gateway station, the Whitworth Art Gallery and Bradford Broadway; and agricultural customers for retaining walls and storage.

Naylor Concrete Products Ltd is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Naylor Industries plc, a fourth-generation family business group listed on the London Stock Exchange under ticker NA that reported £69.8m group turnover in FY2022 (up 35% on the prior year) across clay pipes, plastic pipes, concrete products and specialist plastics divisions. The Concrete division employs 70+ people at Barugh Green with the Garforth fencing site adding a further 32 staff (acquired with Procter Fencing in September 2022). Group CEO Edward Naylor oversees the conglomerate; Paul Whyte has been Managing Director of the Concrete division since September 2023.

Core offering

Naylor Concrete Products Ltd manufactures and supplies high-performance concrete building products from its Yorkshire factories, organised in three ranges: concrete lintels (Economy, Hi-Spec, Fair Faced, Fire-Spec, Faced Fire and the premium XtraFire™ fire-rated line), precast systems (Verti-Block and Rockwall retaining walls, Sealwall liquid holding tanks, Staka-Block™ interlocking blocks, prestressed panels and bollards), and concrete fencing (slotted posts and gravel boards plus timber-fence concrete posts). Products are sold through a UK stockist and merchant network and direct regional sales teams for use across construction, agricultural, infrastructure and water-utility projects.

Product overview

Naylor Concrete Products Ltd is a manufacturer of high-performance concrete building products operating as a single unified product portfolio organized across three core categories: Concrete Lintels, Precast Systems, and Fencing Products. The lintel range includes multiple sub-brands spanning standard load-bearing lintels (Economy Range, Hi-Spec), architectural exposed-finish lintels (Fair Faced), and fire-rated variants (XtraFire™, Fire-Spec, Faced Fire) — the XtraFire™ line represents the premium offering with independent fire testing up to 240 minutes. Precast Systems encompass retaining wall solutions (Verti-Block, Rockwall with corner units, Groundwall), liquid holding tanks (Sealwall in multiple configurations including new 6m height and corner units), interlocking block systems (Staka-Block™), prestressed panels, and bollards. Fencing Products consist of slotted concrete posts and gravel boards including hedgehog-friendly variants, alongside timber fencing posts. All products are manufactured at the company's Yorkshire-based facilities, with recent investments including a £2m automated lintel plant and over £155,000 in R&D laboratories supporting new product development including low-carbon concrete mixes.
