Civils/Construction Day
Jackson was established in 1952 and this year celebrates its 70th birthday. Today, we operate out of seven offices across England, employing around 300 staff with roughly half that number working from our head office in Ipswich. We also engage scores of small businesses in the region who we subcontract to work on our projects.
We undertake civil engineering projects ranging from £500,000 to £50m in value, and our turnover last year was £100m. We work for major clients such as the Environment Agency, Highways England and Connect Plus, as well as many local authorities and private clients throughout the country.
In East Anglia, recent projects include upgrades to the Ipswich Tidal Barrier and flood defences at Woodbridge waterfront; the construction of the Beccles Southern Relief Road and Lowestoft Northern Spine Road; the installation of a swing mooring at the West Bank Terminal at Ipswich Docks and the stabilisation of coastal slopes on Clacton beachfront.
