Lowery Limited was incorporated in August 1950 initially working for British Rail, the GPO and Pirelli Cables. Its largest
customer during this period was Pirelli, for whom it installed underground supertension cables on behalf of the Central
Electricity Generating Board (CEGB).
There followed a period of steady expansion in the 60's, the 70's brought further growth through its relationship with Pirelli working in Belfast and extended activities with British Rail, CEGB and the GPO.
The 80's brought the start of the telecoms boom, Lowery was successful in securing large tranches of communications cabling infrastructure works for British Telecom and Cable & Wireless - the latters track network installed trackside on the railway network.
In 1992, Lowery's Directors identified a major opportunity with BT's rationalisation and were appointed one of their Main Civils Contractors, a relationship which continued for the rest of the decade. In 1998, Network Rail embarked on an HV Power Supply Refurbishment Program and Lowery, working in association with Seeboard (now EDF Energy), undertook the feeder cable replacement over the next five years. By 2000, Lowery's list of clients included National Grid, Global Crossing, Thales, NTL, Energis & Marconi, Seeboard and Railtrack.
In 2003, Lowery secured its Contractors Assurance Case from Network Rail, and expanded it's railside activities.
Lowery has the ability to handle both major project works and fast moving small repetitive civil works.
Moving towards 2010, the Company will celebrate it's 60th Anniversary.
