Billington Holdings Plc, one of the UK's leading structural steel and
construction safety solutions specialists, continues to strengthen the
management team within the Group's operations and is pleased to announce that
Ian Dawson joined the Group in September 2025 as Billington Structures
Technical Director and Jon Wright has been appointed as Billington Structures
Production Director.

 

Ian Dawson, Technical Director, Billington Structures

 

Ian Dawson is widely recognised as one of the leading technical and
engineering directors in the industry, leading significant projects over his
37 years in the structural steel sector. He joined Billington from a prominent
UK steel fabricator, where he had spent 22 years, latterly as Design
Director.  He is a Chartered Engineer, as well as a Fellow of both the
Institution of Structural Engineers and the Institution of Civil Engineers.

 

Throughout his career, Ian has demonstrated exceptional leadership,
particularly in recruiting and training graduate engineers. He has extensive
experience in high-rise structures, stadia structures, tubular structures,
long-span structures, and bridges. His expertise also includes the
construction and temporary stability of complex structures, detailed design of
steel connections, and the design of steel structures. Ian has been actively
involved in industry representation, serving on the IStructE branch committee
for Northern Counties and presenting technical lectures to various
institutions and universities. He has also contributed to numerous
high-profile projects, including the design and construction of the Shard,
Heron Tower, 22 Bishopsgate and KGX1 Google headquarters.

 

Jon Wright, Production Director, Billington Structures

 

Jon Wright has been appointed to the role of Billington Structures Production
Director. This appointment marks a significant milestone not only for Jon, but
for the entire Billington Group, as we continue to build on our commitment to
excellence within the construction industry.

 

Jon's journey with Billington Structures began over 27 years ago, when he
first joined the business in 1998 as a Fabrication Apprentice. From these
early days, Jon demonstrated an exceptional work ethic and an eagerness to
learn, quickly progressing through a variety of roles that allowed him to
develop a deep understanding of the Group's operations. His career has seen
him contribute as a key member of the site remedial team, support the business
as Works Manager, and more recently, serve as Associate Director of
Production.

 

In 2014, Jon accepted the responsibility of becoming the business's
Responsible Welding Coordinator, a role in which he helped drive improvements
in quality and safety standards across Billington's projects. His passion for
fostering talent and advancing technical expertise has also been evident
through his involvement in launching Billington Structures' in-house
apprenticeship training scheme and the introduction of the Group's dedicated
on-site welding academy. These initiatives have played a vital role in shaping
the next generation of skilled professionals both within Billington and the
wider industry.

 

Commenting, Mark Smith, Chief Executive Officer of Billington, said:

 

"I am delighted to welcome Ian Dawson to Billington as Billington Structures
Technical Director.  I am confident that Ian's extensive skills and
experience will assist Billington Structures' move into new markets and
significantly strengthen the technical leadership of the business.

 

"I am also delighted that Jon Wright has been appointed as Billington
Structures Production Director. Jon's wealth of experience, unwavering
dedication, and commitment to continuous improvement make him the ideal
candidate to lead Billington Structures production team into the future.

 

"I am confident that under the guidance of Ian and Jon Billington Structures
will continue to uphold the highest standards of quality, innovation, and
sustainability."
