Whito directory
Infrastructure companies in the UK
41 firms listed, 23 September 2026. Each checked at Companies House. We add firms one at a time and publish the real count here.
This is a directory of the companies behind UK infrastructure: the firms that build it, run it, own the networks and advise on it. It is not a directory of projects. For projects, the government publishes the UK Infrastructure Pipeline: 734 projects worth £718bn, as at its 9 March 2026 edition.

Each was checked at Companies House on 23 September 2026. Two more firms are held until their Companies House filings update.
Who can be listed
Four kinds of firm, as described on the infrastructure hub:
- Contractors, main and specialist
- Operators and concessionaires
- Utilities
- Advisers, such as engineering, cost, planning and legal firms
A firm goes in the group that matches the work it has done, not the one it would like to be in.
The listing rules
These rules are stricter than the ones for our trade listings. We expect the people checking these firms to need the legal entity, not just the trading name, so the rules start there.
1. A Companies House number, or no listing. Every firm here must match an active company, LLP or other registered entity at Companies House. We show the legal name, the number, the status and the date we checked. If a firm trades under a brand, we show both names and say which one holds the contracts. A firm that is dissolved, or in liquidation on the day we check, is not listed.
2. What they actually build, from a public source. We describe work a firm has completed or is delivering now. That means work named on its own website, in a published contract award, or in a regulator’s record. We do not publish capability statements (“we can deliver schemes of any size”). If we cannot find public evidence of a type of work, we leave it out.
3. Region, in plain words. We show the registered office town and the regions the firm says it works in. Where a firm works nationally, we say “UK-wide” and nothing grander.
4. No paid rank. Nobody can pay to appear, to move up, or to be left out. The default order is the same as on every Whito directory page. Verified listings, where the firm has claimed its listing and confirmed its details, come first. After that the list is alphabetical. Claiming is free.
5. Figures only from filings. If a profile shows turnover or headcount, it comes from accounts filed at Companies House, with the period stated. We do not repeat figures from press releases or pitch decks.
6. No stars, no reviews, no badges for sale. We do not host reviews. Scheme and framework memberships are shown only where we can point to a public record, and are labelled “stated” where we cannot.
7. Public bodies are explained, not listed. Public bodies that commission infrastructure are explained in our research notes, not listed as businesses. HS2 Ltd and National Highways buy the work rather than supply it, so none of the four groups fits them.
What a listing shows
| Field | Where it comes from |
|---|---|
| Legal name and company number | Companies House |
| Status and date checked | Companies House, on the date shown |
| Trading name | The firm’s own website |
| Group | Contractor, operator, utility or adviser |
| What they build or run | Public source, linked |
| Registered office and regions | Companies House, plus the firm’s own statement |
| Schemes and registers | Public record, or labelled “stated” |
| Claimed or unclaimed | Whether the firm has confirmed its details with us |
| Listing last updated | Date |
What a listing is not
It is not a recommendation, a prequalification or a sign that a firm is on any framework. It is not a credit check. It is a dated, checkable description of a real company. Anyone buying infrastructure work should still run their own due diligence.
Want to be removed, or corrected?
Email hello@whito.co.uk. We correct facts against the source, free, and we will remove a listing on request without asking why.
Method and limits
Method. Each firm is looked up by name at Companies House. We record the company number, status, incorporation date, SIC codes and registered office on the date of the check. Work examples come from the firm’s own site, published contract awards or regulator records, and are linked.
Limits. A Companies House match confirms that a company exists and is active. It says nothing about the quality of its work, its insurance or its finances. SIC codes are chosen by the company and can be broad. Public contract awards do not cover private work, so some firms will look smaller here than they are. Counts on this page are updated when listings are added, not in real time.
Free to list, free to claim, and paying cannot move a listing.
