21 Jul	Billington Holdings BILN	Large orders	£28m contract wins	+6%
	Why it matters On 21 July 2026 Billington announced three wins worth about £28m combined: education (£6m), energy from waste (£12m) and defence (£10m). That equals roughly 26% of last-12-month revenue of £107.9m. The £10m defence contract is only an initial limited instruction so far. Background The 1 April 2026 contract-win update and the 21 April full-year results came first. Before that, the Yate facility closed in November 2025 (proposed 14 October). Operating profit is £1.9m, with net cash ex leases of £12.6m. What to watch Whether the defence instruction becomes a full order, which the company expects "in the near term" but without a date. Delivery is mostly in 2027. Market The shares closed at 430.0p on 20 July and 425.0p on 22 July (-1.2%). The latest close, on 7 October, was 455.0p.
