Lloyd Walters Industrial Services

Lloyd Walters Industrial Services (LWIS), a joint venture between Walters and Darlow Lloyd & Sons, recently won a highly coveted contract at the Tata Port Talbot Steelworks. Primarily covering materials handling and logistics, the production-critical work covers heavy end and mill operations at the site and has been widely hailed as a shining example of Welsh companies working together to deliver successful outcomes. The multi-million pound contract covers everything from heavy end materials logistics, scrap movements from the mills for reprocessing and even ship hold cleaning at the on site deep water harbour. The plant requirement is a significant commitment, requiring the services of some 90 individual vehicles, from Bobcats and excavators to dump trucks and loading shovels. This was a prime consideration as Walters prides itself on operating the largest directly owned plant fleet in the UK today. Walters long and successful record of openness and collaboration with partner companies and clients was a significant factor in awarding the contract. Darlow Lloyd & Sons itself has a history of delivering major benefits to Tata, with waste recovery schemes, landfill management and mining related services all successfully delivered in the past.
