Door company Booth Industries is celebrating a number of multimillion-pound contracts on rail projects.
The Bolton firm has secured a contract worth more than £7.5m to supply doorsets for HS2 ’s Old Oak Common station in London, plus what it describes as a “strategically significant multi-year contract” to provide maintenance services for tunnel doors on the Elizabeth Line for Transport for London, worth up to £1m.
The new work follows a £4.5m order in January this year to supply pressure-rated fire doors for an additional phase of the HS2 project. Booth’s parent company Avigtrans said that the contract wins “further reinforce the group’s ability to deliver on market forecasts in FY26 and beyond.”
Mike Jenkinson, managing director of Booth Industries, said: “The two new contracts are great news for our business and build on our work on Crossrail, the Northern Line extension and earlier phases of HS2. It demonstrates the value HS2 places on our unmatched design and manufacturing expertise, developing high-integrity doorsets that meet the most demanding safety and performance standards, as well as our proven experience delivering complex infrastructure projects around the world.
“The extension of our contract with Transport for London underscores the strength and reliability of our maintenance capabilities, which have been carefully developed and refined in recent years. By leveraging decades of industry expertise alongside a market-leading service proposition, we ensure that performance-critical infrastructure continues to operate with the highest standards of safety, efficiency, and longevity.”
Austen Adams, divisional managing director of the AES division of Avingtrans, said: “We are delighted that once again HS2 has chosen Booth Industries to deliver a performance-critical part of the high-speed rail network. The team has a strong track record of innovation in the sector, recently developing a range of new, market-leading doorsets that offer unparalleled fire performance of more than four hours.
“The lessons learned from this innovation, alongside Booth’s previous work for HS2 and other rail infrastructure contracts, have informed the designs for the new contracts, reinforcing Booth’s position as the specialist provider in the sector for high-integrity products that have global market potential.”
