TSL replaces McAlpine on £280m Agratas gigafactory contract
TSL has replaced Sir Robert McAlpine on the Agratas car battery gigafactory project in Somerset, a job Barbour ABI values at £280m, topping September's contracts league. The UK's top 50 contractors won £3.14bn of work in September across 110 projects.
