BYLOR REDUNDANCY UPDATE – 17/12/2025

Firstly, the trade unions would like to thank you for your patience during this period.

We have met with Bylor on several occasions for meaningful consultation regarding the planned demobilisation of the Bylor workforce.

Unfortunately, we have not been able to convene an emergency grouse meeting, as we are still awaiting key information that is not expected to be received until January 2026.

Bylor has confirmed that “at risk” emails will be issued at the start of January, with 1:1 consultation meetings scheduled to begin on 6 January 2026 at the Hinkley Campus.

As a result of these consultation discussions, the number of proposed redundancies has been reduced from 1,383 to 1,309. The following trades remain at risk:

• 264 – Carpenters

• 375 – Steel Fixers

• 112 – Concrete Team

• 9 – Groundworkers

• 26 – Welders

• 26 – Grey Hats / Superintendents

• 20 – Chain Persons

• 187 – Logistics

• 172 – Crane Team

• 99 – Scaffolders

• 19 – Plant Operatives

Matrix scores will be calculated based on the period 30 June 2025 to 30 November 2025.

Trade supervision will be included within the relevant trade pool at a ratio of 1:7.

Bylor has advised today that a further breakdown of trade groups will not be available until January.

Negotiations have taken place between NNB/BYLOR/UNIONS, to offer the following extra PILON payment, in the set of circumstances below, which is always the individual’s choice to request

1.Operatives can request to be considered for VR from Monday 5th January to Monday 12th January, agree a leaving date to be entitled to an extra PILON payment of 39 hours per week to Friday 20th February 2026 ,this allows operatives to leave immediately in the 45-day Consultation period

2.In the At-Risk consultation’s meetings with Managers/Unions /Operative, whereby they agree the score which moves them from at risk to redundant, should they then request to leave immediately ,they will be entitled to the extra 39 hours PILON payment from date of leaving to 20th February 2026

3. In the At-Risk consultations meeting with Managers /Unions/Operatives their agreed scores move them from risk to redundant, they can still decide to work the full Consultation period to the Friday 20th February and be paid full entitlement weekly payments, leaving after the 45 days consultation period 20th February 2026

The above 1-3 will always include full redundancy package, that all operatives are entitled ,based on length of service presented in the consultation meeting

Both trade unions remain fully committed to supporting their members throughout this process.

We also wish to reaffirm that there is no exemption from redundancy for union representatives, and they will be included within their respective trade pools.

Trade union representatives will be available to provide support during the consultation period and will be based in the upstairs bar area of the Hinkley Campus from Monday, 5 January 2026.
