Keeping it in the family: Urban Fox powers forward with Balfour Beatty Group partnership

We are excited to announce that Urban Fox has been contracted by Balfour Beatty, the leading international infrastructure group, to supply and maintain EV charging solutions across Balfour Beatty's permanent estates and selected projects.

EV charging is already available at 31 locations across Balfour Beatty Group, so the 106 dual chargers at these sites will have their current software migrated over to Urban Fox. Locations without EV chargers will then have new Urban Fox chargers installed. This strategic rollout will bring numerous benefits to Balfour Beatty colleagues, ensuring reliable and convenient charging infrastructure.

At Urban Fox, we believe in maximising the value of our collaborations, ensuring that our expertise and resources contribute to sustainable and prosperous outcomes. Maximising the Balfour Beatty Pound is about using our own in-house capabilities, so we know that we’re operating to the right standards, providing a high standard of equipment on our sites, and keeping profit within the company. This partnership exemplifies our shared commitment to these values.
