A stated priority
How we work safely.
A modern, purpose-built yard. Clear ownership. Standards that are audited. We take safety seriously — for our team, our visitors, and the drivers who pick up from us every week.
2023 onwards
A modern facility, designed for the work.
In 2023 we moved into a purpose-built precast facility at Chilsworthy, Holsworthy. Production buildings, batching plant, silos, water tower, workshops, offices — and 38 jobs created on a site engineered for modern precast manufacture.
The new yard separates pedestrian and vehicle routes, has fixed lifting points and gantries on the main casting beds, and modernised mould-handling. It's the single largest investment in safer working that WCCP has made — and it's the baseline on which everything else here sits.
How it works on the floor
Four things, everyday.
A purpose-built modern facility
Our Chilsworthy yard was opened in 2023 — purpose-built, with modern plant, dedicated walkways, segregated yard traffic and fixed lifting gantries. 38 jobs in a part of Devon that needed them, on a site designed for the work that gets done on it.
Clear ownership
Health and safety is managed by an external H&S consultant working with the management team. Risk assessments, method statements, toolbox talks and incident reporting are part of how the yard runs, not a paperwork exercise.
Standards, audited
Every product cast at WCCP is made to British and European standards (BS EN 14992, BS 8500-1:2023, BS EN 1992). Cube testing on every pour. Batch records kept on file and available on request.
Visitors, contractors and drivers
All site visitors sign in, are inducted to current PPE and traffic-management requirements, and are escorted in production areas. Drivers collecting from the yard have a documented loading plan.
Accreditations & pathway
