hi there,
no they don't , they lost there long term highways contract to kent county council to enterprise , although no doubt they've still got there yard at aylesford kent and ringways did buy in to foster yeoman plant at northfleet ( just by the picture) a joint venture if i remember rightly call NKR ( north kent roadstone) , certainly still got the yard at slade green / erith marshes ( old te beach yard that i used to operate from )

Hi All
Eurovia (Ringways) still do work for Kent Highways but have to tender for it under whats called market testing because Kent thought they were not getting the best value by having one contractor doing the work for x number of years.Tarmac is Enterprises surfacing partner but have to share the work.

Hi guys,
I did wonder because they are still in this area, working out of Huntingdon as Ringway highway services and Stilton as Ringway infastructure services.

Hi All
Eurovia seem at the moment to be quite stretched as they have won a lot of new contracts and have bought a lot of new plant including two Vogele spray jet pavers,one in Hounslow and one for the Isle Of Wight
