Civil Projects Division Secures £6.1m of New Water Sector Contracts

Hercules plc (AIM: HERC), a leading infrastructure and construction services group, is pleased to announce that its Civil Projects division has secured new contract awards, with a combined value of approximately £6.1 million during Q2 and Q3 of FY2026.

Including these new awards, for the first nine months of FY2026, the Civil Projects division has secured contract awards of over £15.7 million. The majority of these contracts will be delivered during FY2026, reflecting continued growth in demand for the division's capabilities. The Civil Projects division generated revenue of £13.5 million for the year ended 30 September 2025.

The contracts have been awarded across two key regions:

·      c.£4.5 million awarded within the Thames Water region

·      c.£1.6 million awarded within the Anglian Water region

The projects form part of the UK's AMP8 (2025-2030) regulatory investment programme, which is expected to result in approximately £104 billion of investment across the UK water industry. These latest contract wins further strengthen Hercules' position within the UK water sector and demonstrate the continued expansion of the Company's Civil Projects division as it begins an increasing volume of self-delivered infrastructure projects.

Commenting on the update, Brusk Korkmaz, CEO of Hercules, said:

"These latest contract awards represent another positive step in the continued growth of our Civil Projects division and further demonstrate the confidence that leading clients have in our ability to deliver complex infrastructure projects safely, efficiently and to a high standard."
