So this is where you come in…

About NY Highways
NY Highways is a newly formed highways maintenance company that has been established to provide highway services to the council. Previously run through the private sector, these services are now housed (from June 2021) within a ‘Teckal’ company, owned by the council. It forms one of a number of companies owned by the council which make up the Brierley Group.

It is our aim to become an industry leader within the highways sector. To be known for being modern and innovative in our approach to delivering highways services - whilst supporting, developing and rewarding our workforce in a way they truly value, because it offers them a balanced quality of life the chance for career progression and fair reward for the work they do.

We are focussed on internal development, with clearly defined career pathways for people to learn new skills and progress to skilled, professional, supervisory and management roles.

The Brierley Group
The Council is part of a forward thinking public sector organisation - award winning, commercially focussed and with multiple successful commercial trading businesses already. This established portfolio of trading businesses is known as the Brierley Group, of which NY Highways is the latest addition.
These Council owned companies operate in a commercial context and are required to achieve sustainable growth and profits, specifically to enable The Council to continue to reinvest so as to better meet customer needs and invest in the residents and communities of North Yorkshire.
Teckal status
This status means that as the shareholder, the council can award contracts directly without procurement, so the company is in an exclusively strong position to deliver high quality highways services and achieve long term ethical and stable growth. At the same time, the intention is to continue to grow the business by identifying new commercial opportunities, with the ambition to deliver services to other public sector bodies as well as to private sector clients over the longer term.
